JPY is unable to break the psychological 140 support level

"This week’s main domestic risk event for JPY is the BoJ policy decision scheduled for Tuesday. A hold is widely anticipated however the uncertainty centers around the tone as policymakers risk softening their decidedly hawkish tone."

"Domestic bond market volatility remains a core concern for the BoJ and recent comments from Gov. Ueda have hinted to the possibility of a less aggressive path for policy normalization. USD/JPY has been consolidating just below the midpoint of its two mount range and remains unable to break the psychologically important 140 support level – for now."
