BOJ buying 430bn yen of bonds with 5 to 10 years remaining unitl maturity

  • a cut from last time around when the bought 450bn yen

If you are chasing a narrative for why yen is up , there is one for you (note the auction results came out after the yen had gained, so there is that to consider).

The BOJ had maintained purchase volumes steady since June of this year in the 5-10 (the last time they reduced).

Fed expected to hike next week. ECB saying goodbye to QE. Stock markets gonna have to stand on their own feet now?
