Change in BOJ's stock buying pattern stirs whisper of 'stealth tapering'
The question of when the Bank of Japan should wind back crisis-era stimulus has dogged policymakers for some time, but its less aggressive support for the stock market in recent weeks has some investors speculating it's already taking its foot off the gas. The central bank's support for the stock market, a part of its wider push to inflate asset prices, has generally followed an unwritten but easy-to-decipher rule: if the stock market falls more than 0.2 percent by midday, it buys exchange-traded funds (ETFs). While the fall in Topix on those days was still relatively small and the BOJ's move could simply be fine-tuning following the record amounts bought March, some investors suspect it could be the start of a withdrawal from its commitment to buy six trillion yen ($54.01 billion) of ETFs a year.

COLUMN-Stocks an unlikely shelter from debt, dollar, emerging market storms: McGeever
U.S. bond yields are the highest in seven years, the dollar is strengthening, emerging markets are wobbling, and oil is up to $80 a barrel. There are many possible reasons for this, including: U.S. tax cuts boosting earnings expectations and share buybacks, exchange rate moves, a sense a 3 percent Treasury yield was already priced in, and a belief that the turmoil in the emerging world is and will remain isolated to certain countries. Since the 10-year U.S. yield and dollar really began to take off in mid-April, increasing the pressure already bearing down on emerging markets, the world's major equity indices have held steady or rallied.
