BOJ seen holding rates at the April 27-28 meeting while keeping tightening options open
Key takeaways
- Post-YCC policy is now being tested by oil- and yield-driven external shocks rather than by the old 10-year yield cap itself.
- A likely April hold would show the BOJ is balancing imported inflation, weaker growth, and yen pressure before deciding on further hikes.
- Large JGB holdings and volatile long-term rates mean balance-sheet normalization remains a live policy constraint.
