BOJ Not Buying Stocks = Nikkei Back In Crash Mode

08/16/16 09:54AM EDT

Dollar Down, Yen Up …. And the Nikkei smoked right back into crash mode (-1.6% overnight and -21% from the 2015 Global Equity #Bubble peak) as the BOJ did the un-thinkable and didn’t “buy stocks” into the bell… (this should all end well). The JGB 10yr Yield fell 2bps to -0.11%.

Meanwhile, Nikkei Asian Review reports that Japan's stalling growth is adding fuel to the GDP measurement debate between the Bank of Japan and the Cabinet Office. Funny how these debates always heat up when output sucks.
