Source: Bank of Japan to keep policy steady in March
On March 11, T. Rowe Price portfolio manager Vincent Chung said in a report that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is likely to hold interest rates steady in March as it needs time to reassess current geopolitical conditions.
He noted the BOJ may take monetary policy action in April, when spring wage negotiation data becomes available. Recent oil price gains have raised inflation risks, he added, and sustained high oil prices could become a long-term drag on the central bank’s policy.
Chung also pointed out that markets may be concerned about potential yen intervention, but the recent yen depreciation aligns with moves in other major currencies. If the BOJ sends a dovish signal at its March meeting, it could put further downward pressure on the yen, he said.

Article Title: Institution: Oil Price Will Still Be the Biggest Market Driver, CPI Impact Possibly Limited
March 11th – Pepperstone analyst Michael Brown said in a report Wednesday that oil prices will remain the market’s biggest driver, with their impact outweighing tonight’s U.S. February inflation data release.
Brown noted market participants breathed a sigh of relief after President Trump indicated the conflict would end soon, but emphasized the market will still closely watch for any signs of easing.
While U.S. inflation data is typically a key focus, tonight’s reading may not move markets much—nor does it hold major implications for the Fed’s policy outlook, he said. Amid geopolitical uncertainty, market participants are “not paying much attention to upcoming economic data,” he added.
