BOJ should signal clear rate path after June hike, SMFG markets chief says Reuters
Market participants are anticipating the Bank of Japan's post-hike guidance, indicating a critical juncture for Japan's monetary policy normalization.
A clear rate path from the BOJ after a June hike would significantly impact global capital flows, interest rate differentials, and investor sentiment towards the yen and Japanese assets.
The market's uncertainty around future BOJ policy will diminish, allowing for clearer investment strategies and potential shifts in carry trades.

The yen appreciates due to reduced uncertainty and the prospect of higher yields.
International investors increase exposure to Japanese assets, particularly government bonds and equities.
Other central banks may face pressure to adjust their own monetary policies in response to a less dovish BOJ.
