BoJ preparing to purchase more Japanese government bonds on Monday
The Bank of Japan again broke its daily record for Japanese government bond purchases Friday as yields defied its 0.5% cap, in a sign of the rising market pressure for another policy retreat by the central bank.
The BOJ bought roughly 10 trillion yen ($78 billion) in JGBs over the past two days, with a 5 trillion yen purchase on Friday topping the high it had just set Thursday and is preparing to purchase more Japanese government bonds on Monday, according to the Nikkei.
''The BOJ will kick off the year's first two-day policy board meeting Tuesday. Ahead of this, many in the central bank believe that it should take a wait-and-see approach on policy changes.''
