# State Street: Delayed interest rate hike expectations exacerbate yen weakness, but the policy window is still not closed

> Bart Wakabayashi, the manager of State Street's Tokyo branch, stated that the market had previously sold off the yen significantly due to the policy proposals of the leader of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, Sanae Takaichi. If her appointment as Prime Minister cannot reach a consensus, the market will certainly react. Takaichi is not a supporter of interest rate hikes, and the delay in expectations for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates has intensified the selling pressure on the yen. However, there may be room for policy adjustments. The market generally expects the Bank of Japan to remain on hold this month, but Wakabayashi believes this matter is not yet settled
