Mitsui Securities economist Yusuke Matsuo said that the summary of the September meeting of the Bank of Japan (japan) shows that when the Bank of Japan considers the possibility of further raising interest rates, the US economy may be the most important factor. This summary shows concerns about the speed of the Fed rate cuts and their impact on Japan. A member of the Bank of Japan Policy Board stated that it will take some time to assess the impact of US policy changes on the market. Yusuke Matsuo predicts that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates to 0.5% in December or later and pause at this level for a period of time.
