The Bank of Japan’s policy meeting is scheduled for the 17th and 18th of January. Yomiuri (Japan media) has reported that the Bank may consider taking steps to rectify any distortions to the yield curve as a result of their quantitative easing. In December, the Bank made a minor adjustment to the yield curve control program, allowing 10-year Japanese Government Bonds to trade up to a 0.5% yield from the previous 0.25% cap. This minor adjustment to the program had a major impact, due to Governor Kuroda’s continual denial of any changes being considered until the announcement.
