Says

This suggests a more nuanced approach to policy adjustments that could influence expectations around future rate trajectories, especially as the market reacts to currency fluctuations. Traders should be alert to any shifts in behavior towards JPY and how this guidance could impact fixed income and commodity markets, particularly gold.
