Comment:
“The yen will stay weak whilst the BOJ maintains its YCC (yield-curve control) policy,” said Tony Nyman at Informa Global Markets, referring to the central bank’s framework to implicitly cap the 10-year Japanese government bond (JGB) yield at 0.25%. This year’s rise in U.S. Treasury yields has put upward pressure on benchmark 10-year JGB yields, sending the BOJ in a frenzy to protect its de facto yield cap with massive bond-buying that fuelled the yen’s slide.
