Bank of Japan alerts by email

Why this feed exists

The Bank of Japan's policy decisions carry outsized global weight because of the yen carry trade: years of near-zero rates funded leveraged positions across global equities and bonds, and any shift in that stance risks an unwind that moves markets far outside Japan. The volatility spike after the BOJ's 2024 rate hike is the standing reminder of how fast that can happen. Announcements land during Tokyo hours, often overnight for U.S. markets.

What each alert includes

The announcement excerpt and link, an AI headline, and a Market read focused on carry-trade risk: whether the decision moves rates or signals a change from the prior stance, the yield-curve-control legacy that still shapes yen positioning, and the plausible transmission to USD/JPY, Japanese equities, and leveraged global positions funded in yen.

Why timing matters

Because BOJ decisions land overnight U.S. time, the gap between release and a domestic trading desk's first look can run for hours. This feed closes that gap the moment the announcement is public.
