In the same briefing he reiterated a commitment to keep raising interest rates while discussing inflation trends, echoing earlier statements recorded by Investing.com. Deputy Governor Shinichi Himino added that inflation vigilance remains a priority as rate‑hike bets mount, a point reported by the Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg noted that the yen gained following the hawkish remarks, describing the market reaction as a pricing in of a potentially outsized hike.

TradingView highlighted the focus on price risks and the broader economic debate, confirming the BOJ’s intent to weigh these factors before any decision. The BOJ has left its policy toolbox open, with Ueda indicating no immediate decision but keeping the door ajar for a significant adjustment.
