The Bank of Japan shocked markets with a surprise tweak to its bond yield controls that allows long-term interest rates to rise more

Shares tanked, while the yen and bond yields spiked following the decision, which caught offguard investors who had expected the BOJ to make no changes to its yield curve control until Governor Haruhiko Kuroda steps down in April. In a move explained as aimed at breathing life back into a dormant bond market, the BOJ decided to allow the 10-year bond yield to move 50 basis points either side of its 0% target, wider than the previous 25 basis point band.

The 10-year Japanese government bond yield briefly spiked to 0.460%, close to the BOJ’s newly set implicit cap.
