BOJ Governor Ueda to Appear Before Parliament at 1:00 PM Local Time

The significance lies less in the appearance itself than in the timing: markets are already parsing every BOJ communication for a policy signal, and a parliamentary setting gives Ueda a platform he does not fully control. That matters for yen-sensitive and carry-driven positioning across crypto and other risk assets, since BOJ language has repeatedly been a global liquidity variable. With no agenda disclosed, the open question is whether he is pressed on policy stance at all, or whether the session stays procedural.
