Bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will likely keep the central bank’s main policy levers unchanged next week, mere hours after another major rate hike from the Federal Reserve, according to BOJ watchers surveyed by Bloomberg.
All 49 of the polled economists said the central bank will leave its yield curve control program and asset purchases unchanged at the end of the two-day policy meeting Thursday.
