BOJ board member Sakurai out on the wires 1 Dec 2016
– sees no big swings in bond yields or BOJ’s JGB buying amounts
– doesn’t see big problematic distortion to Japan’s REIT market for now as a result of BOJ purchases
I would have thought that the BOJ would have been breathing a sigh of relief that their work is being done for them. They’ll be hoping the US Fed don’t let them down now.
