Bank of Japan governor Kuroda out with a scheduled speech 21 June

  • appropriate to continue powerful easing

Desperate men do desperate things.

  • yield curve has been moving in line with BOJ market operations
  • Japan's financial system remains stable
  • economy is on firmer footing
  • output and exports are rising
  • price momentum warrants close attention

Or lack of momentum I think he means.

USDJPY 111.28 suitably unfazed by the repeated rhetoric.

Kuroda talks again. Anyone still listening though?
