Economic calendar in Asia 18 January 2023 - Bank of Japan monetary policy statement due

The Bank of Japan is the focus. The statement will be made sometime in the 0230 to 0330 GMT (2130 - 2230 US ET) time window. There is no set time for the statement but that is a reasonable expectation based on past experience.

Previews:

• TD say still plenty of room for yen gains, see as low as 120 by the end of March
• Bank of Japan preview - "may be on the verge of its biggest policy change in decades"
• The hyenas are circling the Bank of Japan
• 10-year JGB yields still pushing the limit for now
• The risks are skewed towards disappointment for yen bulls this week

• Goldman Sachs ask how low could USD/JPY fall if the BOJ exit YCC (spoiler, under 125.00)

• With the Bank of Japan ahead, what don't the USDJPY sellers want to see technically

• Why the best trade is to be long JPY into the BOJ - Deutsche Bank
