TOKYO -- The Bank of Japan on Thursday quelled speculation that it is shifting away from monetary easing by announcing an emergency bond purchase operation designed to keep rising long-term rates in check.
The BOJ said it will buy an unlimited amount of 10-year government bonds at 0.25%, the upper target set under its policy to keep long-term rates near zero.
