USD/JPY is rising on the remarks from Bank of Japan Governor Ueda:

  • When sustained, stable achievement of the price target comes into sight, we will examine whether to maintain various easing measures, including negative interest rate.
  • The specific means of rolling back stimulus will depend on economic conditions at the time.
  • Based on the economic and price outlook as of now, Japan's monetary conditions will likely remain accommodative even after ending negative rates.
