Societe Generale highlights USD/JPY trading near 160, with dips bought despite lower Oil and expectations of a 25 bp BoJ hike. They stress that a BoJ move is seen as a foregone conclusion, but focus on what might narrow 2-year UST/JGB spreads and ease intervention pressure, as speculative short Japanese Yen positioning has reached multi-year highs.
