[Japanese Central Bank Rate Hike Expectations Cool, Yen Weakens in Early Morning] Odaily Planet Daily News: Due to the continued cooling of expectations for a rate hike by the Japanese Central Bank, the yen weakened against most G10 and Asian currencies during the early morning trading session. Chris Turner from ING stated in a research report: 'In the short term, the market's focus will be on what kind of pressure the Japanese Central Bank is facing.' Currently, the market estimates the probability of a rate hike at this month's meeting to be only 20%. If the rate hike is postponed to next year or even later, it will further pressure the yen.
