The Bank of Japan's (BOJ) September meeting minutes, released on Thursday, revealed a clear divergence within the Policy Board regarding the pace of interest rate hikes. Hawkish members called for an accelerated pace of tightening, while a government representative made a rare intervention, urging the central bank to act cautiously. As a result, market expectations for a consecutive BOJ rate hike in October cooled, and the Japanese Yen weakened, briefly falling below the 158 Yen to 1 US Dollar mark.
