Citigroup now expects the BoJ to deliver its next hike in June (prev. saw July), and sees the BoJ continuing to raise rates roughly every six months thereafter
Context
Citigroup's updated expectation for the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to hike rates in June rather than July reflects a more aggressive monetary policy stance. This shift indicates potential upward pressure on the JPY and could influence interest rate swaps and bond markets in Japan, as market participants may need to adjust their positions ahead of the expected rate path.
