Key Quotes
“Despite Kuroda’s boundless optimism, Japan falls back into deflation as the country’s core inflation gauge fell 0.1%y/y from 0% a month earlier.”
“After a promising start in 2013, the economy is running out of steam and seems unable to return to growth without an extra push from the central bank.”
“As a result, we anticipate that the BoJ will increase the size of the stimulus at its annual meeting. Also, we are still bullish USD/JPY on the medium-term, however we do not rule out temporary strength of the JPY on the short-term.”
