Bank of Japan raises interest rate to 1.25% amid persistent inflation
Japanese monetary authorities raised benchmark interest rates to 1.25% as import costs and economic indicators kept inflation pressures elevated.
The Bank of Japan increased its policy rate to 1.25%, with the 10-year government bond yield reaching 3%. Domestic inflation pressure continued to mount as the yen traded near ¥157 per dollar, elevating the cost of imported energy and commodities. Economic activity remained expansionary, with the manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index reaching 54.9 and services posting 52.5.
Governor Ueda noted that inflation could exceed the central bank's 2% objective. Policymakers indicated that additional rate increases may be considered at forthcoming meetings, including sessions scheduled for October or December.

The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis.
