Details OF Source Reports Not Quite As Hawkish As Initial Headlines

BOJ

JPY pairs and JGB futures find a base as the details of the previously covered BoJ sources pieces aren’t quite as hawkish as the initial headlines:

  • RTRS sources note that no consensus has been formed re: a March BoJ hike and the story reads softer than the hawkish headlines suggested.
  • Meanwhile, more recent RTRS headlines covering the JiJi piece suggest that a new quantitative policy framework will see the BoJ continue to buy Y6tn of JGBs per month, in line with recent purchase levels.
