BoJ Governor Ueda is scheduled to address Japan’s National Securities Convention on October 6, according to Jiji

That said, BoJ communication in tightening phases has tended to arrive incrementally through speeches of exactly this kind, with officials seeding framing on wage momentum, service prices or bond market functioning ahead of board meetings rather than surprising at them. The transmission runs through the front end of the JGB curve and the yen via rate-differential repricing, and in past episodes low-expectation venues have moved markets precisely because positioning was light going in. What distinguishes this appearance is whether Ueda addresses policy at all or confines himself to industry themes; the former invites follow-through in OIS pricing, the latter typically fades. The items to track are any deviation from the prevailing consensus script and whether deputy governors echo or dilute the tone in subsequent sessions.
