Despite recent talk of diverging Asian currencies, the Bank of Japan is poised to raise interest rates as early as September. An adviser to Prime Minister Fumio Takaichi told The Standard—and Reuters relayed—that the central bank will likely lift rates this month and sustain quarterly hikes through January 2027.

Bloomberg cited Nomura analysts who warned that, in an extreme scenario, three consecutive hikes could be on the table. The outlook is not unanimous. moomoo.com noted that currency trends are splitting across the region, suggesting market participants are weighing both tightening and divergent monetary paths.

Nomura’s caution about an “extreme case” adds uncertainty about how many hikes will materialise before the year ends.
