🚨BREAKING: The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has maintained its short-term policy rate at 0.5%, despite headline inflation reaccelerating to 4% in February. This decision reflects the BOJ's cautious stance amid global trade uncertainties, including potential U.S. tariffs on Japanese auto imports. 💴 The yen remained largely unchanged at 149.44 to the USD, as markets had anticipated the BOJ's pause to assess the impact of these external risks.
