JPY descends to fresh lows on fiscal/monetary concerns
"Market participants remain concerned about Japan’s macro outlook with a focus on PM Takaichi’s expansionary fiscal plans and risks to the BoJ’s independence given the government’s recent efforts at cooperation. Markets are continuing to soften their expectations for BoJ tightening, fading the chance of a December hike while boosting bets for tightening in early 2026."
