Key Quotes:
"Their balance sheet adjustment could temporarily weaken risk sentiment, but the impact of widening rate spreads will be stronger for yen crosses unless the low-volatility environment is seriously challenged."
"Communication strategies employed by the Fed and ECB to provide information on their forthcoming balance sheet adjustment path (officially or unofficially) could avoid a sharp rise in volatility in the financial market, which would allow yen-crosses to appreciate."
