The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised interest rates by 25 basis points as expected. The BOJ stated that it anticipates real interest rates will remain at extremely low levels, and if economic and price trends meet expectations, it will continue to raise policy rates as the economy and prices improve. Even after the interest rate change, the monetary environment remains accommodative, supporting the economy. This means that further interest rate hikes are expected, but at a gradual pace; the pace will not be aggressive, and there will be no rapid shift to tightening, but rather a gradual approach. The statement was relatively dovish; now we'll see how BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda responds this afternoon.
Overall, this BOJ interest rate hike is likely to proceed smoothly.
At the beginning of the month, and considering the CFTC yen positioning, the impact wasn't significant.

日本政府成员今天的表态“日央行应避免过早加息和过度调整货币支持”,这应该不会改变本周五日央行的加息动作,但是会影响日央行后续的节奏。之前有聊到周五日本央行议息会议看点并不是这次加息。而是说日本央行对未来利率政策路径的展望是不是,这次加完下次什么时间、未来的终点利率在什么位置? x.com/qinbafrank/sta…
