🇯🇵 BOJ'S UEDA SIGNALS FURTHER RATE HIKES AS INFLATION NEARS 2%
Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda reaffirmed that the BOJ will continue raising interest rates as underlying inflation approaches its 2% target. Ueda said economic conditions remain broadly in line with forecasts, while global policymakers appear more optimistic about AI-driven demand than previously expected. The key takeaway: The timing and pace of future rate hikes will depend on currency movements, AI demand and Middle East developments.
