According to CoinMeta, Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will be absent from this week's Jackson Hole Symposium due to a scheduling conflict, and Board Member Naoki Tamura will attend in his place. The meeting, which is usually attended by the governor or one of the two deputy governors, sees Tamura as a hawkish member who has advocated for regular interest rate hikes to address rising inflation risks. Analysts point out that remarks by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell at the meeting could have a significant impact on the Japanese yen and bond yields. In addition, Deputy Governor Ryosuke Kamimura will also deliver a speech on Thursday, which may signal an interest rate hike next month.
