Bank of Japan signals possible rate hike next month amid yen weakness
Sources indicate that the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is preparing markets for a potential interest rate hike as soon as next month, citing concerns over the sharply declining yen. The shift reverses years of ultra low rates and reflects growing pressure from political and economic stakeholders. Currency traders have already reacted, pushing up the yen and increasing yen rate volatility. Economists warn that such a move could tighten global liquidity flows and influence asset prices across emerging markets if adopted.
