BOJ chief Ueda signals rate hike chance next week, yen jumps - Channel News Asia

Quick Summary:

TOKYO :The Bank of Japan will debate whether to raise interest rates next week, Governor Kazuo Ueda said on Wednesday, reiterating the bank's resolve to push up borrowing costs if the economy continues to improve.

The remaining hurdle for the BOJ in raising rates next week would be what Trump could say about his plans on tariff hikes after his inauguration on Monday, and how markets could react, analysts say.

"Markets interpreted Ueda's remarks as sounding positive about a near-term rate hike," said Takuya Kanda, head of research at Gaitame.com Research Institute.
