The Bank of Japan on Tuesday ended negative interest rates after eight years and unwound most of its unorthodox monetary easing policies, saying a new era of stable inflation is in sight in Japan. The decision marks the end of a global era of negative interest rates that began in the 2010s.
Tokyo stock investors are optimistic that the Bank of Japan will maintain easy money, even if it ends negative interest rates. Shares had retreated after the Nikkei 225 [hit a high](https://www.wsj.com/finance/stocks/japans-nikkei-after-34-years-briefly-tops-record-close-in-intraday-trading-7c29e029) in February, as investors priced in the likelihood that the BOJ would end negative interest rates at this week's meeting.
The Dollar continues to rally against the yen on Monday, as traders await both the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve central banks this week.
