Hi there, today BoJ had cut its interest rate to -0.1%. I read various articles on this topic, however, one line that I read did not made sense to me. It was:
“Some board members of BoJ are reported to have voiced concern that slumping Tokyo stocks could threaten attempts to get firms to boost capital expenditure.”
My question is how could a declining stock market could trigger capital expenditure by firms? What is the relation between both of them?
