BofA Sees Three Catalysts That Could Turn It Bullish on Yen

BofA Securities says it is turning less bearish on the yen and sees three catalysts that could eventually make it outright bullish, even as the currency drifts back toward 160 per dollar. The note is constructive on the yen outlook but remains conditional, with no immediate policy shift or market shock implied. Impact is likely limited to FX sentiment rather than broader market pricing.
