SYDNEY : Asian shares edged higher on Monday as investors waited nervously to see whether the Bank of Japan would defend its super-sized stimulus policy at a pivotal meeting this week, while a holiday in U.S. markets made for thin trading.
World leaders, policy makers and top corporate chiefs will be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, and there are a host of central bankers speaking, including no fewer than nine members of the U.S. Federal Reserve. "There is still some possibility that market pressure will force the BOJ to further adjust or exit the YCC," JPMorgan analysts said in a note."We can't ignore this possibility, but at this stage we do not consider it a main scenario."
Futures now imply almost no chance the Fed will raise rates by half a point in February, with a quarter-point move seen as a 94 per cent probability.
