Bank of Japan says Japan's financial conditions have remained accommodative.

UCloud said the D block of its Ulanqab smart-compute centre topped out today. D block is planned for 3,136 total cabinets; initial delivery will include 12 modules totalling 2,352 standard cabinets with per-cabinet power of 15 kW. The site reserves four white spaces offering bespoke power between 8 kW and 24 kW per cabinet. The Ulanqab facility covers about 140,000 sqm and is designed to accommodate roughly 12,000 cabinets of varying power profiles.

Intouch Asia FX head Kieran Williams said the Bank of Japan's rate rise was fully priced and markets are focused on accompanying measures. The BOJ's statement was broadly dovish: it plans to pause reducing JGB purchases from April 2027, a concession to the bond market that contradicts earlier warnings that core CPI could exceed 2%. Williams said the policy path now depends on developments in the Middle East and oil-price pass-through; a large yield differential with the US will likely keep the yen weak. In the medium-to-long term, this step is unlikely to relieve yen pressure, so intervention remains a real near-term risk. Deputy governor Uchida's press conference is a key variable; with Governor Ueda absent, markets will watch how he defines the timing and pace of the next hike.
