According to recent data from Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, December's bonus payments declined 0.4% below that of 2014, shattering the Japanese central bankers' hopes of re-inflation. Further the summer bonus payment failed to impress, while regular salaries did not increased over the previous years.
The recent BoJ's monetary policy effect has faded away from the FX market. While the central bank has a number of measures at its disposal to tackle the situation including QE and rate policy among others, markets now clearly see the exchange rate as the only monetary policy measure left with the central bank. The BoJ will have no other option other than devaluating the yen.
