Yen, Japanese Bond Yields Fall on Bank of Japan 'Stalling Tactic'
The Japanese yen and bond yields fell on Friday as the Bank of Japan opted to wait a month before telling the market how it will reduce its purchases of bonds.
Japan's central bank's tightening action fell short of expectations, and the yen is expected to continue its recent decline.
The Bank of Japan has adopted a "vague" attitude, stating only that it will reduce the scale of bond purchases, and pushing back the related issues and specific scale of bond purchases until the next meeting.

Seiji Katsurabatake: "Tokyo Market with a Contrast of Strength and Weakness, What Will Happen in the Central Bank Week" <Market Outlook Special>
―The short-term emphasis is also uncertain, toward July, will the direction of the market be revealed?― On the Tokyo stock market on the 10th, the Nikkei average stock price rebounded significantly and recovered the 39,000 yen Fushime level. The closing price of the 39,000 yen range is the first time since May 23. The May US employment statistics at the end of the previous week exceeded expectations of job growth, but the US stock market showed stability without being wary of rising long-term interest rates. With the support of the favorable factor of a weak yen, the Tokyo market broadly bought back core stocks.
Towards tomorrow's stock market: the big wave of "low PBR/value".
On the first trading day of the week, the Tokyo stock market rebounded, with the Nikkei index rising 354 yen from the previous business day to reach 39,038 yen, finally reaching the 39,000 yen range. However, there is still a long way to go to reach the 40,000 yen mark. A little bit more effort is needed to get there. On the night of the seventh of last week, at 9:30 p.m. Japanese time, before the opening of U.S. stock trading, the May U.S. employment statistics were announced, which could have been a source of turmoil in the market.

For next week's stock market, semiconductors and bank stocks may have volatile price movements during the central bank's week.
On the Tokyo market on the 7th, the Nikkei average stock price fell slightly by ¥19 from the previous day to ¥38,683. Trading volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market was also sluggish, staying around 3.4 trillion yen. This is because the important economic indicator for the United States, the May employment statistics, will be announced tonight, and next week, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will be held on the 11th-12th, and the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting and the central bank's decisions will be held on the 13th-14th May. Therefore, active trading was restrained before the big events.

Regarding tomorrow's stock market, the fate of semiconductor-related stocks hinges on the "US employment statistics".
Following the Nasdaq index reaching an all-time high on the US stock market on the 5th, the semiconductor-related stocks rose in the Tokyo market on the 6th, causing the Nikkei average stock price to rebound after three days, closing at 38,703 yen, up 213 yen from the previous day. Although it temporarily recovered to the 39,000 yen range, the increase narrowed in the afternoon. In particular, in the US market, Nvidia (NVDA) rose sharply by 5%.

High-tech stocks are leading the Nikkei Average.
[Stock Opening Comment] The Japanese stock market is expected to be dominated by buying on the 6th. On the 5th, the US market saw the NY Dow rise by 96 dollars and Nasdaq rise by 330 points. Early buying was dominated by expectations of a rate cut due to lower than expected growth in the private sector according to ADP employment statistics. Subsequently, the ISM non-manufacturing business conditions index, which was announced later, improved beyond expectations and NY Dow temporarily turned into a decline as long-term interest rates rose, but persistent expectations of a rate cut for the year ahead led to continued buying.
Regarding the stock market for tomorrow, the Tokyo market, which is signaling changes, is a bundle of opportunities.
On the Tokyo stock market today (5th), the Nikkei Stock Average continued to fall, down 347 yen from the previous business day to 38,490 yen. European stock markets fell across the board the previous day. Although the NY Dow and Nasdaq Composite Stock Price Index both rose in the US stock market, they fluctuated during trading hours and ended up feeling like they balanced out. There is no ambition despite the clear trend of declining long-term US interest rates.
