ECB and BOJ are signaling tightening into mid-June while Fed and BOE hold steady, creating a widening rate differential that should support EUR and JPY in the near term, particularly if inflation data this week validates hawkish repricing. Watch for any ECB speakers or euro-zone CPI that could shift the 80% hike probability, as a miss would quickly reverse the recent 20bp move higher in rate expectations. BOC remains dovish at 6% hike odds despite the June meeting, so any CAD weakness should persist unless commodity prices spike.
