Nomura Research Institute: The Federal Reserve's policy dominates the trend of the US dollar against the Japanese yen, raising concerns about the transparency of communication with Walsh
Nomura Research Institute economist Takahide Kiuchi stated that Federal Reserve policy is the main driving factor behind the trend of the US dollar against the Japanese yen, and despite the Bank of Japan raising interest rates, the US dollar against the Japanese yen remains above 160. Takahide Kiuchi pointed out that the Federal Reserve's dot matrix does not fully reflect the impact of the decline in oil prices, and the future policy path depends on changes in non energy prices. Takahide Kiuchi added that if monetary policy communication is reduced and financial market transparency is lowered under the leadership of Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Walsh, market volatility will intensify.
