JPY USDJPY

Four Banks Agree the Rate Check Was About Pace. Three Feeds Put Spot 77 Pips Apart.

Four houses read Friday's rate check the same way — the Ministry is watching pace over a rolling window, not defending a level.

MUFG's "every three months" cadence, anchored on 18 September, points at December rather than October. And three feeds put spot 77 pips apart with mutually impossible day ranges, which is the error bar on any pace calculation.

USD/JPY BOJ

Tokyo Is Shut Until Thursday, and the Bank of Japan Checked Rates on the Way Out

USD/JPY opens the week at 156.68–156.96 with Tokyo shut for three days — and the last thing the Bank of Japan did before the holiday was ring dealers to check where the yen was.

Our Friday band for the high was 157.33 to a little above 157.80; the day printed 157.96 or 158.05 depending on which desk you read. Thursday is the day Tokyo reopens and the day the 1.25% takes effect.
