Today's session will be dominated by the Bank of Japan's monetary policy decision and press conference, alongside crucial economic data releases from the UK, Eurozone, and Canada. The BOJ kept its short-term interest rate unchanged at 0.25% as widely expected, maintaining its cautious approach to monetary tightening. Investors will closely watch Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference for any hints about future policy direction. Additionally, retail sales data from the UK, inflation figures from the Eurozone, and economic indicators from Canada will provide insights into global economic health. Several central bank speeches throughout the day may offer further context to recent policy decisions and future outlooks.
