Forex Flash: BoJ policy has global ramifications – Goldman Sachs

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The importance of the BoJ’s shift extends beyond Japan’s own markets in ways that mostly reinforce our core views.

This should help to underpin a move to fresh highs in global equity markets, as long as the global growth environment does not deteriorate further.” Suggests the Economics Research Team at Goldman Sachs.
