On Tuesday, the Bank of Japan chose stillness over action, holding its benchmark rate steady even as three of its nine board members argued for something bolder and its own economists revised inflation sharply upward. Governor Kazuo Ueda, inheriting the weight of those signals, offered neither confirmation nor denial of what comes next — only caution. The yen, like a market that had hoped for certainty, rose briefly and then retreated, a small drama that mirrored the larger uncertainty gripping central banks from Tokyo to Washington to London this week.
