[Market Analysis: Bank of Japan Expected to Keep Interest Rates Unchanged, Focus on Yen Weakness] Jin10 News, April 23 – MFS Investment Management analyst Carl Ang stated that the Bank of Japan is expected to maintain its interest rate at 0.75% during next week's meeting while adopting a hawkish stance. 'Given the Bank of Japan's dual mandate of maintaining price and financial stability, and the fact that yen depreciation often leads to higher consumer prices, we anticipate the central bank will focus on the issue of yen weakness at that time,' Ang said. The analyst also added that although the USD/JPY exchange rate is currently holding well below the resistance level of 160 yen, during the 'Golden Week' holiday immediately following the Bank of Japan meeting, market liquidity typically decreases. This low-liquidity environment could provide an opportunity for the government to intervene in the exchange rate, potentially triggering a reflexive rapid appreciation of the yen within the 150 to 160 range.
