Markets brace for cut to BOJ's super-long bond buying

The Bank of Japan could take another key step toward diminishing its huge presence in the bond market next week, when it releases its bond-buying plan for the second quarter that may include a cut in the size of super-long bond purchases, analysts say. Under a quantitative tightening (QT) programme laid out in July, the BOJ has been slowing bond purchases by around 400 billion yen ($2.65 billion) per quarter to halve monthly purchases to 3 trillion yen by March 2026.

"If the Trump administration decides to push trade partners towards a trade war it will be bearish for European equities," Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management CIO Benjamin Melman said, adding he did not expect outsized gains for European stocks from here.
