Do you ever wonder just how powerful central banks can be? Join Ashraf Laidi and yours fewly as we break down how the Bank of Japan single-handedly shifts global markets, impacts currency and gold prices, and maintains short-term interest rates below 1% since 1997. We are making sense of the Bank's unique QE program, the only one of its kind still operational worldwide, and dissecting the intricate ties between Japan's stock market, currency, and inflation rates. By the end of this episode, you'll better grasp the gist of phrases like 'yield curve control' and why its potential phasing out can turn markets upside down.

Can you imagine a single entity intervening in global markets? That's the kind of power we're talking about when we discuss the Bank of Japan. We'll unpack how such a move could shake up currency and gold prices. But that's not all, as the impact of decisions made by the Federal Reserve also comes into play. Understanding how closely CPI data is tied to these moves is crucial, and we'll show you why. Wrapping up, we'll get into the nitty-gritty of gold's performance over the past few quarters and discuss how future prices may be influenced. So, whether you're a trader, investor, or just someone interested in understanding global financial markets better, we promise this episode has something for you.
