BoJ has not ruled out an April rate hike, Bloomberg reports citing sources
Context
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) indicating that an April rate hike isn't off the table suggests a potentially more hawkish stance than markets had anticipated. This could shift rate expectations, influencing the JPY and impacting cross-asset dynamics, particularly in fixed income and commodity markets as traders adjust their views on Japan's monetary policy direction. Watch for how this influences risk sentiment and positions ahead of the next policy meetings.
