This snippet now via ING, also see no change in policy. And a lower yen:
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is widely expected to leave policy unchanged at today’s meeting, which will likely push up the JPY a bit more. With no policy change expected anytime soon, markets will pay more attention to the BoJ’s growth and inflation outlook. We believe that the BoJ will revise its inflation forecasts for 2022 and 2023 higher while cutting its GDP forecasts.
When is all this happening? ICYMI:
- The Bank of Japan monetary policy statement is due sometime in the 0230 to 0330 GMT time window - the BOJ does not have a specific scheduled time for this release.
