4:55 AM More from the BOJ: Governor Kuroda elected to steer largely clear of what many view as a no-win situation Wednesday when he didn't use this week's policy meeting statement to jawbone government bonds (JGBL) higher. Surging yields have underscored concerns that the BOJ's purchases could suck liquidity from the bond market, stoking volatility, but rising yields can also be interpreted as a sign investors expect the BOJ will be successful at reflating the Japanese economy. However, acknowledging this is somewhat counterintuitive as "the whole aim of QE is to keep bond yields down," one economist tells CNBC, adding that the BOJ is "damned if they do, damned if they don't." Yields on JGB 10s moved higher to 0.89% after the statement. Comment! [Global & FX]
