The Bank of Japan stood pat on rates, but indicated it might lower them further if uncertainties remain about reaching the 2% inflation target
TOKYO—The Bank of Japan on Thursday added more pointed language about a possible interest-rate cut in its guidance for future policy without making any immediate changes.
The BOJ said it expected to keep its policy rates at their current levels or reduce them so long as uncertainties remain about reaching the central bank’s 2% inflation target. Previously in the passage known as forward guidance it had said it would keep rates extremely low until next year without specifying that further lowering was possible.
