The Bank of Japan will hold its second monetary policy meeting on the 19th to decide on its immediate policy management. Final discussions were held toward a shift in large-scale monetary easing measures, such as lifting the negative interest rate policy.
Financial analyst Nana Otsuki points out four areas where her influence can be felt: home loans, deposit interest rates, yen exchange rates, and corporate financing. She thinks that if the market thinks that Japan's interest rates are going to rise, it will buy yen.
