Stocks – BoJ Policy Meeting
The Bank of Japan (BoJ) began its two-day meeting earlier today to review its semi-annual economic outlook and it’s expected to maintain its forecast for the core consumer price index to increase by 1.9% in fiscal 2015. The bank is also expected to keep its fiscal 2015 target of 2% inflation.
Board members are expected to discuss the possible impact after the tax hike in April. The BoJ is expected to keep its outlook for the gross domestic product growth of 2.7% for the current year through March, 1.5% in both fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2015.
“The two-day meeting of the Bank of Japan’s Policy Board, which concludes on Wednesday, is unlikely to result in any significant changes to the asset purchase programme,” analysts from Capital Economics said in a note.”
Stocks – China
China’s mainland Shanghai Composite Index climbed 0.6% higher. China’s seven-day reverse re-purchased rate declined 5.16% lower. The nation’s central bank is expected to conduct 180 billion yuan of 21-day and 75 billion yuan of seven-day reverse repurchase deal today.
