- Nikkei reports that the BoJ are to end yield curve control and ETF purchases at their meeting on Tuesday, writing that: "The BoJ is poised to decide to end its yield curve control and purchases of risk assets as well as call time on negative interest rates Tuesday, Nikkei has learned, making the biggest change in Japanese monetary policy in nearly two decades"
