ADB says Japan and other Asian economies face slower regional growth as energy prices stay high
Question
ADB says Japan and other Asian economies face slower regional growth as energy prices stay high
Direct answer
The ADB's regional inflation warning can support JGB prices through a slower-growth, higher-volatility backdrop, while it is a mild headwind for the yen and Japanese rate-sensitive equities if imported energy costs stay elevated.
