Sumitomo Mitsui Nikko Securities strategist Ataru Okumura said Fed rate hikes Prompted by rising inf could increase tightening pressure on the Bank of Japan. He noted the wide rate differential with the US has been the main driver of yen weakness, and a new global tightening cycle could expose the BOJ’s relative lag in raising rates. Okumura added market concern about Japanese government intervention may cap USD/JPY around the 160 area, but investors doubt how long intervention can hold, potentially forcing the BOJ to slightly accelerate its rate-hike pace.

1. Interest Rates: The benchmark interest rate was kept unchanged at 3.75% for the fourth consecutive meeting, in line with market expectations. 2. Voting Ratio: The interest rate was kept unchanged by a 7-2 vote, with Chief Economist Peale and Monetary Policy Committee member Green voting in favor of a 25 basis point rate hike. Committee member Mann believed that the risk of rising inflation was more prominent, but given that policy tightening could be quickly transmitted to the economy, there was no need to raise interest rates immediately. 3. Forward Guidance: The government is prepared to take necessary measures to ensure that inflation returns to a 2% trajectory. Governor Bailey stated that the government will respond quickly to signs of stronger second-round effects. 4. Economic Assessment: CPI inflation is expected to be slightly below 3% in the third quarter and rise to slightly above 3.25% in the fourth quarter, a lower forecast than in April. Potential GDP growth in the second quarter is expected to be around 0.2% (compared to 0.1% in April). 5. Energy Impact: The impact of the energy shock on the UK economy remains uncertain. The longer higher energy prices persist, the greater the risk of a significant second-round effect in price and wage setting. 6. Market Reaction: Following the announcement, the market maintained its bets on a 35 basis point rate hike by the Bank of England this year. The pound fell slightly, the euro hit a three-week high against the pound, and UK government bond yields rose.
