SYDNEY : Asian shares were mixed on Wednesday while the Japanese yen tumbled and Japanese yields retreated sharply after the Bank of Japan unanimously decided to keep its yield curve controls in place.
The 10-year yield retreated sharply to 0.360 per cent on Wednesday, after hitting an intraday high of 0.5100 per cent. Japan's Nikkei share index meanwhile surged 2.6 per cent, bucking the declining trend seen elsewhere. S&P 500 futures and Nasdaq futures were mostly flat. Overnight, the S&P 500 was 0.2 per cent lower and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.14 per cent.In a Reuters poll, 97 per cent of economists expected the BOJ to maintain its ultra-easy policy at the meeting.
Mizuho Bank analysts said in a note that the BOJ adjusting YCC or pushing interest rates above zero was just a matter of time and execution, given the pressures arising from its divergence from monetary policy elsewhere. In the Treasury market, the yield on benchmark 10-year Treasury notes slid 5 basis points to 3.4531 per cent, while the yield on three-year Treasury notes stood at 3.8442 per cent, easing from 3.8640 per cent.
