Quick Glance: Fate of BOJ's Stimulus Tools Revealed
- The Bank of Japan ended eight years of negative interest rates and other unorthodox measures to boost growth. Details on changes to the stimulating tools were disclosed.

- The purchase of risky assets like ETFs and REITs was discontinued, and the commitment to maintain massive stimulus was withdrawn to reassure the market.

- The town can only watch and hope that the drift ice breaks apart, allowing the orcas to escape, according to NHK.
