MDS / BOJ
BoJ - Bank of Japan
What it measures
Japan's central bank. Monetary policy decisions and comments about next steps influence expectations for the yen and Japanese bonds.
Why traders follow it
Read the full meeting outcome: what was decided, why and what could change policy next. A rate increase does not guarantee JPY gains if it was already expected. Currency intervention and rate decisions are different tools.
Check the country, period and source. A single value or regime label does not determine a trade's direction.
