The Bank of Japan on Tuesday could move to further loosen its cap on long-term bond yields, Nikkei reported — a move that could rattle global financial markets.
The 1% cap was established in late July, replacing a previous cap of 0.5%. Under YCC, the BOJ is committed to unlimited fixed-rate buying operations to keep yields below the cap. The U.S. dollar was down 0.2% versus the Japanese currency USDJPY, -0.40% near 149.20 yen. The dollar has traded above 150 yen this month, prompting talk of potential intervention by Japanese authorities. Analysts have said continued yen weakness could prompt the BOJ to further loosen the cap on long-term yields.
