The policy statement underlined weak consumer price inflation, which is expected to remain near zero levels, in Japanese economy. While the BoJ remained confident about domestic economic outlook, it raise the concerns of weak growth in emerging markets. The weaknesses in emerging markets have negative impacts on Japanese exports. RBI notifies hike in FPI limits for G-Secs The Reserve Bank of India notified on Tuesday that foreign portfolio investors (FPI) will be able to hold up to R1.66 lakh crore worth of government securities from October 12 onwards, an increase of Rs 13,000 crore from the current limit of Rs 1.53 lakh crore. Over the next two-and- a half years, FPI investment limits into government bonds and SDLs will be close to double the current figure of $30 billion allowed in government bonds, given that the RBI has said it would increase the limits in phases and has allowed investors to buy SDLs. Indonesian Rupiah Jumps the most in the last three sessions; Central bank intervention rumored Indonesian Rupiah which weakened to its pre - 1998 levels, recovered sharply. The USD/IDR pair tumbled nearly 5% from its peak levels in the last three trading sessions as central bank intervened heavily to stem the currency depreciation. The recovery in Indonesian Rupiah was further supported by delay in US interest rate hike. Indian 10 Year Bond Yield Indian bonds opened on a weaker note, with yields spiking by 1-2 bps across yield curve. The bond markets encountered profit booking post the announcement of increase in FPI limits by RBI.

The Bank of Japan has kept its ultra-eased monetary policy stance unchanged to support the economy.
