Key Quotes
"The Bank of Japan meeting appears unlikely to bring any notable change in policy settings ahead of the release of the BoJ’s semi-annual Outlook Report later this month (31 October meeting)."
"We look for a period of consolidation in USD/JPY following recent rapid gains, which have led to some complaints in Japan about the impact on local businesses."
