The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has scheduled multiple speaking events by hawkish board members ahead of its September policy meeting, signalling a likely rate hike that month amid domestic inflation and external pressure from U.S. Treasury comments.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You now face a tighter funding environment as the Bank of Japan signals rate increases that will widen the yen-dollar gap. Plan for higher borrowing costs and volatility in Japanese FX exposure this quarter.
