BBJP is trading at $82.00, up 4.81% after the September 18 regular-session close of $78.24, following a dovish BOJ hike.

  • Bank of Japan: 25-basis-point hike to 1.25%, approved 7–2; the divided vote weakened the yen and reduced aggressive-tightening fears.
  • The Nikkei gained nearly 2%, supporting Japanese equities; global risk appetite and stronger equity markets likely amplified the Japan-specific catalyst.
  • September 19, 2026, is Saturday: no regular U.S. session is scheduled; the after-hours move reflects positioning for the next trading session.
