BoJ’s Himino: Won't tie Trump's inauguration address directly to decision on whether to hike rates in January
Source Fxstreet
Bank of Japan (BoJ) Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino is back on the wires early Tuesday, shedding more light on the inflation and monetary policy outlook.
Additional comments
In Trump's address, hope to scrutinize schedule and balance of new US administration's policy measures, and whether anything not communicated so far would come out.
On a Yen-denominated basis, recent year-on-year rise in import prices is quite high.
Hard to say whether risk to inflation skewed to upside or downside.
Don't have something like a 'check list' in deciding whether to hike rates or not in January.
