Be wary of the Bank of Japan's quantitative tightening due to weakness

However, one corner of the large office brands was bought, and the market price as a whole
There is also a view that the Bank of Japan will begin discussions aimed at financial normalization from the next meeting
It is expected that the dollar will continue to be in a state where it is difficult to lower interest rates between Japan and the US, but views have emerged that the Bank of Japan will begin discussions aimed at financial normalization from the next meeting, and it seems unlikely that risk-loving dollar buying/yen sales will expand further. If the depreciation of the yen and the appreciation of the dollar progresses beyond 1 dollar = 156 yen, there is a possibility that market intervention by the Japanese government and the Bank of Japan will be carried out is also likely to be one reason to suppress the rise in the dollar.

How can we effectively intervene? Japan's tactic: amplify yen fluctuations and raise shorting costs
The Bank of Japan may have intervened three times since this week, and the exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar surged 3.5% this week. Although analysts believe that the huge interest rate spread between the US and Japan probably made the Bank of Japan's intervention before the Federal Reserve cut interest rates ineffective, the Bank of Japan's strategy may be to amplify fluctuations through intervention and prevent the market from shorting the yen unilaterally. The Bank of America, on the other hand, published a research report saying that the Bank of Japan may carry out multiple rounds of intervention in the near future, but the scale of intervention will not exceed 10 trillion yen or about 65 billion US dollars. Because if the scale of intervention is to be increased, it will be necessary to sell off long-term US debt. In this way, the market will think that the Bank of Japan may run out of gas.

The Chinese yuan, which tends to be linked to the US dollar when the US dollar is strong against the yen due to an upward trend in US economic indicators, also strongly included against the yen. There, the Bank of Japan maintained the current monetary easing policy at the monetary policy meeting, and since there was no movement to reduce government bond purchases, which also had the meaning of the yen depreciation system, yen sales strengthened all at once

Be wary of the Bank of Japan's early additional interest rate hike, maybe it's a weak match
Is this week's outlook 4/22-4/26 Tokyo Stock Exchange REIT Index weak, or is the Bank of Japan wary of an early additional interest rate hike? Continuing from last week, purchases are expected in stocks that invest in logistics facilities and housing.

The Bank of Japan Just Made a Historic Rate Pivot. Here's What Could Happen Next
BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda had repeatedly said these talks would be key to sustainable price increases that would inform any decision to hike rates for the first time in 17 years. BOJ policymakers expect higher salaries to lead to a virtuous spiral with domestic demand fueling inflation. The decision Tuesday sparked a sharp selloff in the Japanese yen, sinking to more than 150 yen to the dollar — a level that's previously prompted intervention from Japanese authorities. It said it'd abolish its yield curve control, which it used to cap longer-term interest rates at around zero; and stop its purchases of exchange-traded funds and Japan real estate investment trusts. The BOJ also pledged to gradually slow its purchases of commercial paper and corporate bonds, with the aim of stopping this practice in about a year. It would resort to "nimble responses" in the form of increased purchases and fixed-rate purchases of JGBs, among other things, if there is a rapid rise in long-term interest ra
