Economist: The Bank of Japan's interest rate hikes are not over yet, but the timing of the next rate hike seems to be later

ChainCatcher news, UOB economist Alvin Liew stated that the Bank of Japan has not finished raising interest rates, but the timing of future hikes is now expected to be influenced by wage growth next year and the clarity of Trump’s policies. This means that while the possibility of a rate hike in January is not completely ruled out, it now appears to be a low-probability event.Although the policy statement and Governor Ueda's press conference did not provide forward guidance, Ueda emphasized that the wage increase situation in Japan in 2025 and considerations regarding Trump’s policies are key to the next decision. UOB expects the Bank of Japan to raise rates by 25 basis points to 0.5% in March, which the bank believes will be the terminal rate. However, there is a significant risk that the rate hike could be postponed to April or later.

In-depth analysis of the reasons behind the 8.5 crash: Bank of Japan's interest rate hike and the exit of "Mrs. Watanabe."

Overall, the core reason for the significant pullback of risk assets led by U.S. tech stocks in this round is the aggressive interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, which have rendered many yen carry trade paths ineffective or exposed to greater risks. "Mrs. Watanabe" is unwinding positions to repay yen-denominated debts and reduce risks. However, considering the relationship within the U.S.-Japan alliance, the factors that will truly dominate the long-term market trends are still the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve. Therefore, before the U.S. lowers interest rates, everyone should remain patient.
