Japanese national flags flutter in front of buildings at Tokyo’s business districtTOKYO (Reuters) – Japanese government bond prices were little changed on Friday, with many market players staying on the sidelines ahead of a raft of upcoming events next week, including policy meetings of three major central banks.
Most market players expect the Bank of Japan to stay with its ultra-loose monetary policy stance in the near future even as the world’s other major central banks gradually shift towards tightening.
Still, many investors are looking to whether that dynamics may change next week when the all three central banks hold their policy meetings.
Uncertainties stem also from likely discord over trade policies at the Group of Seven (G7) summit this weekend and from a historic meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Tuesday.
