Japan is considering adjustments to its pharmaceutical pricing after a year of significant changes, as reported by PharmaPinkSheet. Meanwhile, speculation about the Bank of Japan's monetary policy continues, with analysts questioning whether the BOJ will ever tighten its policy. The value of the yen seems to suggest a negative response to this speculation. Recent remarks by the BOJ Governor have further dampened expectations of a policy tweak in January, according to LiveSquawk. Reuters adds that the BOJ is expected to maintain its ultra-easy monetary policy, with market observers looking for any hints of rate hikes.
