The Bank of Japan published its quarterly schedule for outright purchases of Japanese government bonds under the competitive auction method for October to December 2026. It also released a timetable for U.S. dollar funds-supplying operations covering November 2026 to March 2027. The schedules set the timing of the central bank's bond purchases and dollar liquidity operations. The source headlines give no amounts or market reaction, and the notices came alongside the bank's decision to hold rates and its statement that underlying inflation has reached its 2% target.
