Markets Take Wild Ride As BoJ's Unexpected Policy Tweak Leads To Volatility: What Happened?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Global markets experienced increased volatility following a report that the Bank of Japan (BoJ) was ready to tweak its yield curve control (YCC) policy. This led to a rally in the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar, increased global bond yields, and a decline in global stock markets. The S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and the Invesco QQQ Trust (NYSE:QQQ) all fell. However, the BoJ decided to retain its benchmark short-term interest rate and 10-year bond yields, leading to a reversal in market fluctuations.
