Bank of America: Trade agreement reduces uncertainty, Bank of Japan may adjust policy tone this week


economists at Bank of America said in a report that the Bank of Japan may signal a shift towards a less dovish stance. The market generally expects the Bank of Japan to keep its policy rate unchanged at 0.5% at this week's monetary policy meeting. However, considering the recent trade agreement reached between Japan and the United States, it may adopt a less dovish tone. The agreement reduces a significant uncertainty, and the Bank of Japan has pointed out that this is one of the reasons for postponing tightening policy.
