It’s been a big week for CBs - The #Fed and #BoJ both hiked interest rates, following the #ECB’s move a week earlier. Only the #BoE shifted in a slightly less hawkish direction, chart @reuters.com www.breakingviews.com/columns/brea...

Already unnerved by two dissenting votes, traders’ hawkish hopes turned ⁠to the afternoon press conference by #BoJ Gov Kazuo #Ueda, whose noncommittal comments left #yen trading lower than before he'd spoken, down nearly 1% on the day, chart @reuters.com www.breakingviews.com/columns/brea...

The rate is the number.

The regime is what makes the number matter.
