ANZ ... targeting a move toward 150. The bank believes that this trajectory will hold unless there's a substantial shift in the rate outlook for either the U.S. or Japan.

Key Points:

- Jawboning: ANZ predicts that until the 150 mark is breached, authorities are likely to rely on verbal interventions rather than actual market interventions to influence the currency's trajectory.
