- BoJ maintains interest rates and reaffirms dovish monetary outlook
- PMI data and Canadian retail sales data on the calendar.
- S&P500 with biggest intraday drop since March 2023
Asia-Pacific markets are trading at mixed levels during today's session in the face of the lack of surprise over the Bank of Japan's decision. On the other hand, however, sentiment toward the European market is deteriorating as the start of the session approaches, which remains overshadowed by the biggest declines in the S&P500 cash index since March this year.
Investors' attention today will focus on Ueda's conference following the BoJ decision, PMI data from major economies and speeches by ECB and Fed central bankers.
