MUFG warn that the yen could turn back around again and fall - eyes on BOJ

JPY has been the outperformer, surging against the USD. Analysts at MUFG Bank are a little wary though:

• Japanese politicians are nervous about the snail's pace of monetary policy normalization
• yen's weakness, along with Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party leadership election in September are factors favouring a rate rise next week, not waiting until later
• MUFG expect a 15 basis-point rate rise
• "If the BOJ does not raise rates next week as we expect, the yen is likely to quickly [fall] back to recent lows putting pressure back on Japan to intervene again"
