Capital Economics Asia‑Pacific head Marcel Thieliant said the Bank of Japan's tankan survey strengthens the case for faster rate hikes.

Five‑year inflation expectations rose from 2.5% to 2.6%, supporting Bank of Japan board members who have warned of upside inflation risks.

Fed Governor HAMMACK said the Fed currently does not see tensions in its dual mandate.
