Party In Tokyo!

(T)he BOJ (Bank of Japan) said it would expand its annual asset purchases—its main tool to spur higher inflation—to ¥80 trillion from the previous target range of ¥60 trillion to ¥70 trillion.

The BOJ also said it would triple the pace of its purchases of stock and property funds.

Then, the wild binge at the BOJ's house.
