The Bank of Japan on Friday rounds off one of the most intense weeks in recent memory for central bank policy decisions, with global markets still reverberating from the shockwaves that have followed the Federal Reserve's 'hawkish pause' on Wednesday. World stocks and risk assets tumbled for a second day on Thursday and U.S. bond yields soared to fresh multi-year highs, as investors adjusted to the Fed's revised rate outlook that hammered home its 'higher for longer' stance on interest rates. Further complicating the picture for investors, however, were the surprisingly dovish decisions from the Bank of England and Swiss National Bank.

World stocks and risk assets tumbled for a second day on Thursday and U.S. bond yields soared to fresh multi-year highs, as investors adjusted to the Fed's revised rate outlook that hammered home its 'higher for longer' stance on interest rates. In a sign of how much the landscape is shifting HSBC's fixed income research team led by Steven Major - one of the strongest advocates of a 'lower for longer' view on rates and yields - raised its U.S. Treasury yield forecasts on Thursday.

The fog of uncertainty, and pull of opposing domestic and global forces, continue to hold sway over Japanese assets.

Marketmind: British CPI first, then it's over to JeromeJerome Powell has a needle to thread today between markets eager to call a peak in interest rates and the rising energy costs that are leading an unwelcome comeback in inflation. If Fed members also stick with June projections for rate cuts in 2024, then his explanation job gets even trickier as he will be pressed to lay out the conditions for bringing rates down, all while leaving himself a free hand to raise them if need be. Markets expect the Fed to keep rates on hold, but have priced about a 40% chance of another hike by year's end.
