The BoJ is set to hold their monetary meeting across 25 – 26 April 2024. At the previous meeting, the BoJ raised its key short-term interest rate from -0.1% to a range of 0% - 0.1% for the first time in 17 years. The central bank also removed its yield curve control (YCC) policy and scaled back its asset purchases – ending purchases of equity exchange traded funds (ETFs) and J-REITs but will continue to purchase Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) with “broadly the same amount as before”.Picked By

The Week Ahead On The Markets
KoketsoIG posted a blog entry in Market News,
This week is one of those busy weeks that occurs about three times a quarter, as a rush of key economic data and big-name earnings hit markets. Flash PMIs, the German IFO index and durable goods orders lead up to flash quarter 1 (Q1) Gross domestic product (GDP) for the US, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) rate decision and US PCE price data. Meanwhile, earnings come through from the US, Europe and the UK, including UK and eurozone banks, and of course more of the big tech stocks, as Tesla, Alphabet and Microsoft report figures for the most recent quarter.Picked By
