日本銀行BoJ宣布一個更緩和的貨幣政策，其勝過幾乎0%獲利的十年政府公債，他們也承諾購買資產直到通貨膨脹超過其2%的目標值。在過去幾年來，BoJ一直以來是較為干涉之央行之一，但其激進政策對於日本低通貨膨脹並沒有很顯著的效果。
The Federal Reserve took few by surprise when it left interest rates unchanged at its latest policy meeting. In recent weeks some of the central bank’s more hawkish officials have been pushing the case for lifting ultra-low rates, but their doveish colleagues were ultimately persuaded by a run of weaker economic data. The Fed did, however, drop a strong hint that it would raise rates by the end of the year.
準聯會最新的政策出其不意地不變動利率。在最近這幾個禮拜，一些央行鷹派(強硬派)的官員一直推動提高超低利率，他們"鴿派"的同事最後被一連算較差的經濟數據說服才推動。不過，Fed的確有強烈暗示今年年底前會升息。
Stumpfed for words
John Stumpf, the chief executive of Wells Fargo, was hauled in front of a Senate committee to explain the bank’s conduct in a scandal where fake accounts were created for customers in order to meet branch targets. Mr Stumpf admitted that he knew about the practice in 2013 and that the board was informed in 2014. The senators were in an unforgiving mood, and wanted to know why no senior executives had been sacked.
Wells Fargo執行長John Stumpf被交送至參議院委員會前解釋銀行對於開立假帳戶以達成分行目標業績之行為。Stumpf先生承認他在2013知道此事，董事會則在2014年被告知。參議員處於不饒人的氛圍，並想知道為何沒有資深經理被開除。
