Fed, BoE and ECB speakers in Tokyo fuel USDJPY volatility watch

Senior central bankers from the Fed, Bank of England and ECB are scheduled to speak in Tokyo on May 28 as the BOJ’s two-day IMES conference enters its second day. The event opened May 27 with remarks from Governor Ueda and a high-profile policy panel featuring RBA’s Andrew Hauser, Dallas Fed’s Lorie Logan and IMF’s Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas. Markets are alert to any fresh signals on inflation, trade shocks and rate paths that could shift USD/JPY and global risk sentiment amid renewed Middle East price pressures.
