According to the experts: "After the twin jolts from US recession fears and the unwinding of the Yen carry trade, stock markets globally are slowly limping back to stability. The message from the Bank of Japan that “rates will not be hiked when markets are unstable” will help in stabilising the Yen and prevent further massive unwinding of the Yen carry trade."
