It will also release its Outlook for Economic Activity and Prices. BoJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will deliver a press conference later. No change in monetary policy is expected. Experts point out the BoJ could downgrade their economic assessment. “The document is set to include yet another pushback as to when the inflation target will be reached. They have been pushing back the elusive goal into the future over and over again”, says Yohay Elam, analyst at FXStreet. According to him, the BoJ is set to leave its ultra-loose yet unsuccessful policy unchanged, pushing back the date it hopes to hit the 2% core inflation target. “On this background, investors may buy the currency, assuming the BOJ has no more tools in the shed and/or does not want to use them.” FX Street FX Street FXStreet is the leading independent portal dedicated to the Foreign Exchange (Forex) market.
