Nikkei Outlines BoJ State of Play

JPY
  • Nikkei reports that the BoJ are to end yield curve control and ETF purchases at their meeting on Tuesday, writing that: "The BoJ is poised to decide to end its yield curve control and purchases of risk assets as well as call time on negative interest rates Tuesday, Nikkei has learned, making the biggest change in Japanese monetary policy in nearly two decades"
  • Little really new here, and broadly inline with the various MNI, JiJi and Nikkei sources pieces we've seen over the past fortnight or so - but going another step to underscoring expectations for tonight's decision.

We've also fielded some questions on the timing of the BoJ decision. As always, there's no set time - but these are the timings of the past six decisions:

  • Jun'23: 0347 BST
  • Jul'23: 0428 BST
  • Sep'23: 0352 BST
  • Oct'31: 0327 GMT
  • Dec'23: 0249 GMT
  • Jan'24: 0309 GMT
