The biggest question is, in which direction will the next move be? * The account of the deliberations at the December meeting highlighted that Governing Council debated "whether it was more likely that their next move would be to raise or lower the policy interest rate." * It remains more likely than not that the next move will be a hike, with a downside shock required for cutting again. * The January Monetary Policy Report is likely to show an upgrade to GDP growth projections for 2025 as a whole with a potential slight upgrade to 2026 at a still-soft level. CPI forecasts also look set to be raised slightly due to higher-than-expected headline readings in the latter months of the year, but as we explain, the more important underlying metrics have been subdued.

January 27, 2026 06:51EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: * As widely expected, the BoJ left rates on hold at its January policy meeting. This was the broad sell side consensus along with market pricing, which gave little chance to a hike at the meeting. A move was seen as very low risk, particularly after the December hike at the end of 2025. Much focus was on the outlook in terms of when the next BoJ hike may materialize. * Our sense is that the next window for a BOJ hike will be around mid year, consistent with market pricing of a June hike (see below for more details). Still, there are risks this could be moved forward, potentially to April. Watch points will be fiscal impetus post the election, along with JPY trends (weakness beyond 160 in USD/JPY could prompt an earlier hike), while by April we should also have more information on 2026 wage outcomes. * Market pricing, as at today, gives only a modest chance to a hike at the March policy meeting. April has an implied rate of 0.915%, against a current effective rate of 0.728%, so around 75% chance of a 25bps tightening priced in. A full hike is more than priced in for the June meeting, while by year the implied rate is above 1.40%.

Several speculated he could be joined by Gov Bowman and/or Gov Waller, in descending order of probability, * Future action: The MNI analyst median for expected 2026 cuts is 50bp, with a range from zero to 125bp. * The median analyst still sees the next cut coming in March, though several pushed back their easing views to later in the year after the December nonfarm payrolls data released earlier this month. * Several analysts identified June as a logical point of resumption for rate cuts as it would/could reflect the first post-FOMC meeting with a new Fed Chair.

The center of the Committee is likely to hold sway in maintaining an easing bias, albeit with no rush to make the next move now that rates have been brought down to within plausible estimated ranges of neutral policy. * If anything, the Committee may be even more patient now than it was 6 weeks ago. * Recent data have done little on net to affirm the case for another near-term cut, with the unemployment rate steadying and economic activity proving more resilient than expected. * With government shutdown-related distortions failing to clarify the overall picture, Chair Powell is likely to repeat his message from the December meeting that the FOMC is "well positioned to wait to see how the economy evolves", with plenty of data to consider before the next decision in March. * The new Statement is likely to see only limited changes, but should acknowledge both reduced near-term concerns over the labor market as well as the above-expected economic activity since the last meeting. It will maintain the rather vague forward guidance adopted in December that the "extent and timing" of future easing will depend on the data. * That would likely be taken in stride by rate markets which price only around a 3% implied probability of a 4th consecutive 25bp cut, with the next easing expected only by July.
