Analysis and Recommendation:
The USD/JPY is currently trading at 78.38 with little action after the BoJ held rates and policy this morning. Markets were truly surprised. The bank, which had last month increased the size of its asset purchases by 10 trillion yen ($127 billion) to ¥80 trillion, said at the end of a two-day meeting that it will ease policy “in a continuous manner by steadily increasing the amount outstanding” of its quantitative stimulus. It also kept its benchmark interest-rate target in the 0 to 0.1% range, in line with its previous pledge to hold rates steady until it sees price stability. The decisions were taken unanimously.
“Japan’s economy is expected to level off more or less for the time being, and thereafter, it will return to a moderate recovery path as domestic demand remains resilient and overseas economies gradually emerge from the deceleration phase,” the central bank said in its statement.
The Bank of Japan also said it expects consumer-price inflation to remain at zero “for the time being,” despite mounting pressure to do more to create inflation.
The central bank had been under political pressure to loosen its monetary controls coming into this meeting.
