The BOJ were relatively late to the 2% inflation bandwagon by introducing their 2% target in January 2013. Of the 118 months since it was introduced, only 16.1% of them have been above 2%. There was a 12-month period from April 2014, and more recently inflation has been above 2% since April this year and still rising.<\/p>\n<p>BOJ is still in no rush. With that said, the recent summary of opinions highlighted that some members expressed concern about elongating ultra-dovish policies, and risks to inflation.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the BOJ have maintained their yield curve control target at the expense of a weaker yen to help boost exports and growth, whilst keeping interest rates at -0.1%. But if prices continue to rise there is surely a case to be made for interest rates to be zero, or even above. Yet time and time again the BOJ have poured cold water on the conventional method, and veer towards the unconventional. So be prepared for the BOJ to remain in negative interest rates longer than investors can remain solvent betting against them.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrememarkets.com\/mu\/\"><strong>USD\/JPY<\/strong><\/a> hopes for a Fed pivot, streaming from soft US inflation data, has been the main driver of the pair over the past week. This saw the pair break trend support and briefly trade blow 137. The 61.8% Fibonacci level has provided support, like it has previously during this trend and it\u2019s also worth noting the stochastic oscillator has generated a buy signal in the overbought zone.
