Earlier today, the BOJ (Bank of Japan) governor Haruhiko Kuroda speaks in parliament besides Japanese prime minister Abe. They mainly discussed the Risk-off sentiment in the market. The Nikkei is falling dramatically and as per Kuroda, “the movement in stocks is due to various factors, but economies in Japan, Europe, US are in very good shape”. The factors behind stock moves such as corporate profits and economic fundamentals remain strong and there is no change to BOJ’s policies.
