Extended read

BOJ Deputy Governor Himino indicated that the Bank of Japan will consider developments in the Middle East when making its next interest rate decision. This suggests that external geopolitical factors, particularly those affecting energy markets and global trade, are being closely monitored for their potential impact on Japan's economic outlook and inflation trajectory. Such considerations could lead to a more cautious or hawkish stance depending on the severity of the developments.
