USD/JPY analysis for 25/09/2018:
At 11:50 pm GMT, a summary of the last meeting of the Bank of Japan was published. The minutes usually come out late, at least a month after the meeting, but give detailed insight into the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision-making process. The global investors did not learn much new, the importance of the minutes dropped slightly when Kuroda started publishing a summary of the bank members' opinions a few days after each meeting.
Several BOJ members stated that further guidance for the future should be established and their commitment to achieving the price target should be strengthened. Some bankers are of the opinion that flexible control over long-term bond yields will improve the functioning of the market. One member is in favor of raising this profitability because it can increase the sustainability of the current policy.
