Key Quotes
“With Greece now looking like we have achieved closure focus turns to the approaching FOMC meeting”.
“However, worth noting the BoJ revised 2015 GDP to 1.7% from 2% and revised CPI from 2% to 1.9% (2015 from 0.8% to 0.7%)”.
“We expect to see a very soft Q2 GDP released August 17 and that should open up some speculation about a potential ‘tweak’ to monetary policy in either September or October”.
“Given that this will likely coincide with Fed lift-off , we like upside for USD/JPY through second half of August and into September. Between now and then buy dips”.
