【日元要进一步上涨需要日本央行立场更加鹰派】日元涨势正变得难以维持,因为市场已将日本央行本周加息纳入定价,而美联储的紧缩周期在年底前仍略微领先于日本央行。若要进一步走强,则需要日本央行采取更鹰派的政策路径,使连续加息成为可能,或者美国利率优势小于投资者目前的预期。隐含的政策差异目前正对日元的涨势构成挑战。尽管日元升至2月以来的最高水平,但美元和日元一年后一年期远期OIS利差已反弹至2.5%左右。本周的政策会议将检验这种分化能否持续。OIS市场显示,美联储9月16日加息25个基点的概率约为85%,年底前累计加息50个基点的概率也较高。市场几乎已完全计入日本央行将于9月18日加息,但仅赋予10月再次加息25%的概率,尽管市场预计到年底前日本央行将累计加息近50个基点。因此,市场预期到年底为止美联储的紧缩力度将略高于日本央行,但远未定价日本央行将连续加息。当前日元汇率水平似乎更多预期日本央行政策正常化路径日益激进,这比利率市场目前的定价更为有力。要维持近期涨势,不仅需要本周加息,还需要足够鹰派的政策指引,以使连续加息成为可能,并缩小预期中的美日政策差距。否则,政策差距扩大将使日元面临下行风险。
