BoJ Decision in Focus All eyes are on the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) policy meeting this Friday. The yen is weak, trading near the key 160 level against the USD, a point that often aligns with broad US dollar strength. This dynamic is pressuring global liquidity, supporting higher Treasury yields and weighing on equities. The market faces two possible outcomes: * Dovish Hold:A continuation of loose policy would keep the yen under pressure, supporting Japanese stocks and yen-priced assets like gold. * Hawkish Shift:A signal of policy tightening would disrupt markets by undermining support for Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs). This could force major domestic holders to sell overseas assets, such as US Treasuries, to raise funds, risking a spike in global bond yields and tighter financial conditions.
