According to CoinMeta, the Bank of Japan continues to warn that the core inflation rate may exceed the 2% target and has pledged to continue raising borrowing costs based on economic and price trends. The bank has adjusted its assessment of the risks to economic growth, stating that these risks are balanced rather than leaning downward. This indicates that the negative impact of conflicts in the Middle East is not as severe as initially feared by authorities, as the growing global demand for artificial intelligence has served as a buffer, mitigating the impact. Overall, the Bank of Japan's stance suggests that a continued weakening of the yen may exacerbate inflationary pressures, and therefore, it is expected that interest rates will be adjusted again. Investors are increasing their expectations that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates before October, and Governor Haruhiko Kuroda may provide clues supporting this view at today's afternoon press conference.
