最新报道:The Bank of Japan (BOJ) maintained its key interest rate at -0.1% while signaling potential future hikes as inflation forecasts were revised upward. Governor Kazuo Ueda noted growing likelihood of policy normalization amid sustained price rises, with core CPI now projected to hit 2.4% in FY2024 versus prior 1.9% estimate. The yen weakened past 158 against the dollar following the decision, as traders weighed delayed tightening against other major central banks' hawkish stances. BOJ will continue bond purchases at ¥6 trillion monthly but announced plans to reduce holdings gradually, marking cautious steps toward ending ultra-loose monetary policy after decades of stimulus.
