Stocks gave back all of yesterday\u2019s gains and a bit more, with the S&P 500 finishing the day lower just over 1%. Tonight, the FX market will start to get really interesting, with the BOJ rate decision around 11 to 12 PM EDT. More important than the decision will be the read-through for the future path for policy, and then Governor Ueda\u2019s press conference will follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, tomorrow at 2 PM ET, we get the FOMC meeting decision, the Summary of Economic Projections, and then the Powell presser. That leaves the USDJPY in the crosshairs, and really, the path for the USDJPY couldn\u2019t be more two-way. You can flip a coin at this point to call the direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, when looking at the spread between the US 10-year and the 10-year JGB, the bias appears to suggest that the spread continues to narrow; it certainly looks like some kind of bear pennant has formed in the chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If the spread narrows further, it would suggest that the USDJPY falls, meaning that the Yen strengthens since the two track each other almost perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The BOJ has had plenty of opportunities to counter the rising 10-year JGB yield recently, but it has opted not to counter the higher yields. If the BOJ is really serious about a 1% neutral rate, then I\u2019d think that, given their 4% inflation rate, the 10-year rate should be significantly higher than it is today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So we go back to the USDJPY, and if material strengthening occurs, then I think it will mean that the carry trade continues to unwind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we won\u2019t know the actual outcomes until Wednesday evening, after the Fed\u2019s meeting, because we must wait and see what Powell & Co. has to say. So, being patient may be the best bet until outcomes become clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
