The Bank of Japan continues its ultra-soft monetary policy, leaving the interest rate at -0.10%, and the yield of 10-year bonds at about 0%, expanding the program for buying an unlimited number of them at a rate of 0.25%.
The decision was made almost unanimously, and only one of the board members voted for the start of tightening monetary policy. However, the authorities note the negative effect on the economy from a sharp weakening of the yen to 24-year lows, which increases import costs and makes it difficult for local companies to make business and Forex live chart USD/JPY forecasts even in the short term, as Japan failed to fully recover from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
