The BOJ kept its short-term interest rate unchanged at 0.25% as widely expected, maintaining its cautious approach to monetary tightening. Investors will closely watch Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference for any hints about future policy direction. Additionally, retail sales data from the UK, inflation figures from the Eurozone, and economic indicators from Canada will provide insights into global economic health.
