BOJ Expected to Hold Rates Friday but Signal Faster Hiking Pace, Two More Increases Likely This Year

According to T. Rowe Price portfolio manager Vincent Chung cited by Jin10, Japan's central bank is expected to keep interest rates unchanged on Friday but may signal a faster hiking pace than the previously suggested once every six months. Chung stated the bank needs to tighten monetary policy more rapidly. If the BOJ accelerates policy normalization, he anticipates two additional rate increases could occur later this year. The manager noted that sustained yen appreciation would likely require faster monetary tightening from the BOJ alongside lower energy prices and more coordinated currency intervention measures.
