The yen was stronger against the U.S. dollar Thursday afternoon, while U.S. stock indexes softened and Treasury yields rose following a news report that said policy makers would discuss a possible tweak to the Bank of Japan’s so-called yield-curve control policy that would loosen the cap on long-dated government bond yields.
The Bank of Japan began implementing yield curve control, or YCC, in 2016, a policy that aims to keep government bond yields low while ensuring an upward sloping yield curve. Under YCC, the BOJ buys whatever amount of JGBs is necessary to ensure the 10-year yield remains below 0.5%. BOJ Gov. Kazuo Ueda in May said the bank would start shrinking its balance sheet and end its yield-curve control policy if a 2% inflation looks achievable and sustainable after many years of undershooting.
