Asia's economic calendar is jammed with top-tier releases on Tuesday, from Chinese purchasing managers index data to third quarter GDP figures from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but one stands above all others - the Bank of Japan's policy meeting.

Speculation that the BOJ will act ramped up on Monday after Nikkei, citing sources close to the matter, reported that policymakers may further tweak YCC to allow the 10-year Japanese Government Bond yield to rise above 1%. But it is still up 17% year-to-date thanks to a stunning 27% rally in the January-June period that saw it scale a 33-year high close to 34,000 points, as many investors bet that Japan Inc was back after years - decades - in the doldrums.

The question now is, how much of that is firmly in the rear-view mirror? And how far and how powerfully might the elastic snap back if a paradigm shift is underway and domestic borrowing costs keep on rising?
