Bank of Japan announces afternoon offer to lend government debt on the spot market.
BOJ Offers to Lend Govt Debt on Spot: Afternoon Offer
The BOJ continues to patch up the global financial system plumbing, this is what’s all about. These weekly interventions at some point will become daily, then multiple times a day till everything will become unsustainable because yields will break loose and JPY depreciate quickly https://t.co/4apPnlW6ic https://t.co/8mpuwtg02N
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has reintroduced and is actively conducting spot (same-day) lending operations of Japanese government bonds (JGBs) through both morning and afternoon offers. These funds-supplying operations, including a recent ¥800 billion securities lending initiative, aim to ensure sufficient liquidity and stabilize the financial markets, particularly the bond market. The afternoon offer, recently reinstated, provides immediate liquidity to market participants. Market observers note that the BOJ's frequent interventions are intended to support the global financial system's stability, though there are concerns that if these operations increase to daily or multiple times a day, it could lead to unsustainable conditions, potentially causing bond yields to rise sharply and the Japanese yen to depreciate rapidly.
