Post BOJ Monetary Policy Meeting - Video Conference Call

Date: Tuesday, 19 March 2024,
Time: 8:00 GMT, 17:00 JST, 16:00 HKT

We invite you to join us for a post Bank of Japan (BOJ) Monetary Policy meeting (MPM) analysis from Shunsuke Kobayashi (Chief Economist) and Shoki Omori (Chief Desk Strategist for Rates & FX); both from Mizuho Securities, Tokyo. The session will be moderated by Evelyne Gomez-Liechti, Multi-Asset Strategist, Mizuho EMEA.

The time has come. March or April? The next MPM is drawing attention from all over the world, as the BOJ is expected to soon exit negative rates and enter a new regime.

The BOJ will debate ending NIRP, and the decision will be dependent on the spring wage negotiations. Japan is already seeing a virtuous cycle between wages and prices hence the market expects the change of policy this March or April. Conditions could justify ending negative rates this month. We would like to observe how Governor Ueda will speak on the outlook of wage/inflation and the path to normalization.

Shunsuke will share his views on the implication of the BOJ’s decision for Japanese economy for 15 minutes, followed by Shoki who will discuss the impact on the Rates & FX markets, along with trade ideas.
