BOJ’s Adachi says no specific timeline on when to raise rates again

  • No set pace in mind when it comes to rate hikes
  • Must scrutinise data particularly on the real economy
  • Rate hike so far has had intended effect
  • But must avoid falling back into deflation with premature rate hikes
  • Risk of upward pressure heightening from yen declines has reduced significantly

The headline remark takes some of the edge of his earlier comments in the day here. USD/JPY continues to trade little changed on the day, seen at 149.30 currently.
