0824 GMT - Danske Bank Research expects CHF/JPY to fall as it forecasts an interest-rate cut from the Swiss National Bank of Thursday, in contrast to the Bank of Japan lifting interest rates out of negative territory and scrapping yield-curve control on Tuesday. "We have been calling for a spring hike from BOJ for a long time, but though it would wait until next month to push the button," Jens Naervig Pedersen, director in FX and rates strategy at Danske, says in a note. CHF/JPY rises 0.6% to 169.11, as the yen weakens broadly due to the BOJ also saying that it will continue buying government bonds and maintain accommodative financial conditions.
