USD/JPY analysis for 23/01/2018:
Overnight. the Bank of Japan left the policy parameters unchanged as expected. The market first focused on the passage in which it was written that "inflation expectations remain more or less unchanged", while previously they continued to "weaken". However, BoJ added that the price risks prevail on the negative side. What's more, BoJ did not raise inflation forecasts despite global trends and increases in oil prices - this is a dovish element of the statement. At the press conference, the president of BoJ Kuroda said that inflation in Japan is much lower than in Europe and the US, and there is no reason to change politics into less accommodative policy.
