Forex traders are watching closely if the Bank of Japan (BOJ) could raise interest rates further based on a stronger economy. The quarterly BOJ Tankan Indexes are good economic indicators.

In the past 4 releases of Bank of Japan Tankan Large Manufacturers Index, within one hour from the event, USD/JPY rose in 75% of times (3 out of 4 releases), and marked a trading range of 20.68 pips on average.
