This week, three major central banks will make policy announcements, with the Bank of Japan’s decision potentially having the most significant market impact.

Traders are focused on the BOJ’s potential interest rate hike and reduction in bond purchases, which could strengthen the yen and affect global markets, particularly U.S. tech stocks. However, experts suggest that the BOJ may disappoint hawkish expectations, potentially limiting market volatility.

The outcomes of these central bank meetings, especially the BOJ’s, could influence currency markets, carry trades, and global stock market sentiment.
