🇯🇵 BOJ POLICY DAY — JAN 23, 2026 ⏰

The Bank of Japan concludes its policy meeting today, with markets positioned for a rate hold.

What to expect:

• Policy rate: 0.75% (unchanged, consensus)

• Decision window: 12:00–13:30 JST

• Last hike: Dec 2025 (0.50% → 0.75%)

Key focus areas:

• Quarterly Outlook Report 📘

• Governor Ueda’s press conference 🎤

• Signals on timing of next hike (April 2026 or later)

Macro backdrop:

• Inflation still above 2% target

• Wage growth remains supportive

• BOJ assessing whether inflation is durable, not temporary

Why it matters:

Even a rate hold can move markets if guidance turns hawkish — keeping JPY, bonds, and risk sentiment in focus.
