Bank of Japan to conduct an unscheduled bond buying operation

USD/JPY popping higher. The Bank of Japan will conduct an unscheduled bond operation

• offering to buy 3 trillion yen of bonds (JGBs) in an agreement starting on Tuesday and ending on Thursday

Earlier today we had data from Japan that is not suggestive of a central bank policy tightening:

• Japan data - January Machinery Orders -1.7% m/m (expected -1.0%)

And yet, media reports continue to pile in, this from the weekend:

• BOJ will likely ditch negative rates and yield curve control next week - MUFJ

Is this guy going to pull the rug again?
