• BOJ abandoned YCC so must allow markets to determine yield levels
• But need to be vigilant to any sharp rise in market volatility
• Does not want to comment on JGB yield levels currently
• Hard to assess impact of Trump policies on US economy
• But uncertainty over the outlook has waned given solid jobs growth there
