Why Central Bank Total Assets matters for JPY
A rapidly expanding central bank balance sheet (QE) injects liquidity into the financial system and typically weakens the jpy. Balance sheet reduction (QT, or quantitative tightening) is the opposite—draining reserves and supporting the jpy.
How to interpret this series
Accelerating balance sheet growth is jpy-negative as it signals monetary easing. Declining total assets indicate QT is underway, which is restrictive and tends to support the jpy all else being equal.
