"The swaps market price-in 20% odds of a March rate hike, and about 70% odds of an April rate increase. Our base case is for the BOJ to deliver another hike at the April 28 meeting - after the Shunto spring wage negotiations, which typically wrap up by mid-March."
"This suggests there is plenty of room for the BOJ to normalize rates closer to the mid-point of its neutral policy range estimate (between 1% and 2.5%)."
