Bank of Japan Pushes Back Inflation Target

Asian shares rose to their highest levels in nearly a decade on Thursday, bolstered by a surge in global markets. While the yen eased after the Bank of Japan reinforced expectations that it will keep massive stimulus in place far longer than other major central banks.

Following its policy meeting, Japan's central bank on Thursday cut its inflation forecasts for the next few years. It now admits it won't hit its 2% target until 2020, despite having thrown trillions of new yen into the money supply in recent years.

We believe there's a big crisis brewing within Japan. In fact, if there's one place on this planet that epitomizes all the wrong kinds of growth, it's Japan. Too much money printing...too much debt...too much government intervention...too much stock market manipulation.

Sooner than later, these easy money measures by central bank are going to end. And as per Asad, the end of easy money policies will create some big trends that traders can profit from. Here's Asad Dossani, editor at Profit Hunter:

  • "Regardless how many more times interest rates go up, one thing is clear. This is the beginning of the end of easy money. At least, the end of easy dollars (easy eurospounds, and yen will stay with us for a while)."

The European Central Bank also reviewed its monetary policy yesterday. The UK released its June retail sales data.
