SINGAPORE : The U.S. dollar steadied on Wednesday, while the yen slipped as investors eagerly awaited the Bank of Japan's policy decision, which could set the stage for Tokyo to end its ultra-easy monetary policy.
Kristina Clifton, a senior economist and senior currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, said the meeting is likely to result in large volatility in currency markets, pointing out that a dovish stance could see dollar/yen surge by 2‑5 yen. Some investors are betting the BOJ will be forced to adjust, or even dismantle, YCC as early as this week on the view the central bank cannot sustain the massive volume of bond buying needed to defend the cap.
