BoJ Sends a Message to the Markets

U.S. equities gave back this week’s gains as investors try to parse producer-side deflation, the probability of recession, and the Bank of Japan’s decision to leave its yield curve control policy unchanged. The BoJ on Wednesday maintained its ultra-low interest rates, which sent the yen lower and led to interesting action in Japanese government bonds. Global markets contributor Weston Nakamura joins Andreas Steno Larsen to discuss what this BoJ news means from various asset classes, how the action is trickling into U.S. markets, and key takeaways from this morning’s PPI release.

Plus, we’ll hear from Ruchir Sharma, founder and CIO of Breakout Capital, on why he is a little confused about where Japan sits in his EM portfolio. You can check out that entire interview right here: https://rvtv.io/3ZJ8YEX
