Sumitomo Mitsui chief FX strategist Hirofumi Suzuki said the BOJ’s lone dissent was unexpected but came from long‑standing moderate policy board member Asada, so it did not materially move the FX market. Market focus had been on whether a 50bp hike would be proposed; no such motion was raised. Suzuki said the outcome is supportive for risk assets, signaling the BOJ is unlikely to pursue large hikes and will probably raise rates gradually roughly every 6–12 months, with a faster timeline only if inflation accelerates or the yen weakens further.
