EU commissioner for financial services Maria Luís Albuquerque rejected bank lobby calls to split the bloc's wide-ranging banking reform, saying a single package is needed to address fragmentation, reduce red tape, lower cross-border barriers and relax some regulation. Eleven senior bank chiefs from the EU, Switzerland and the UK had urged the Commission last week to prioritise “simplified” reforms and delay contentious items such as a European deposit insurance scheme; Albuquerque said the measures are intended to strengthen the EU economy rather than to benefit banks.

Nikko Securities expects the BOJ to raise its policy rate from 1.00% to 1.25% on Friday and to lift rates to 1.75% by June 2027. The broker said the BOJ may accelerate tightening to counter upside inflation risk. It flagged the Middle East conflict as a driver of higher oil prices, rising global yields and further yen weakness. If oil rises further and other central banks continue to tighten—heightening yen depreciation risk—Nikko said the BOJ could push rates toward 2.25%.
