No hints at anything more hawkish from Kuroda

No surprise, the BOJ doesn't want to give any thing that it's taking its foot on the gas pedal.

More from Kuroda:

  • There's no need for central banks to move in the same direction together
  • Wages and prices are rising gradually
  • Rising incomes are supporting spending
  • Plans to tell G20 that Japan will maintain easy policy

Japanese inflation is well below 2% and Kuroda has no intention of doing anything to give the market a reason to buy the yen.
