- The move followed a two-day meeting and was intended to limit risks of inflation exceeding 2%.
- The yen initially weakened after the decision; analysts partly attributed the move to the two dissenting votes.
- Analysts said the statement gave no clear indication of an October increase; some expect the next move in December.
- Attention now centers on Governor Ueda’s press conference, where markets are expected to seek clues about the future rate path.
The BOJ has finally shed its long-term status as a monetary policy outlier and is joining the ranks of the other major central banks.— David Chao, Global Market Strategist for Asia-Pacific at Invesco, commenting on the BOJ decision.

- The coins commemorate the 250th anniversary of signing the Declaration of Independence and bear 1776 ~ 2026, LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.
- Rolls containing 25 coins cost $61, while bags of 100 cost $154.50; both versions are legal tender.

- Of Japan’s roughly $1 trillion in dollar reserves, Goldman estimates about $200 billion is held as cash or cash equivalents.
- The Fed’s FIMA repo facility could theoretically make the entire reserve stock liquid against Treasurys, avoiding secondary-market sales.
- The joint U.S.-Japan intervention in late July followed the yen’s slide toward 164 per dollar; it has since returned near 160.
- Goldman estimates Tokyo deployed up to $85 billion during the first two days, its largest two-day operation outside October 2011.
They already have at their disposal enough to do another couple rounds of what we just saw,— Karen Fishman, Goldman Sachs Research strategist, on the bank's Exchanges podcast, discussing Japan's reserves and potential further yen interventions.
