[Invesco: Bank of Japan may raise interest rates to 1.50% in December, and further to 2.0% in March and July next year] (1) In a report, Tomo Kinoshita, strategist at Invesco Asset Management (Japan), said that after raising the policy rate to 1.25% last Friday, the Bank of Japan may further raise interest rates to 1.50% in December. (2) Despite the Bank of Japan's recent multiple rate hikes, its quarterly corporate survey shows that corporate financing conditions have hardly deteriorated. (3) The risk of inflation has increased due to rising energy prices and a weak yen; the Fed's hawkish shift is also increasing the risk of yen depreciation. (4) Kinoshita expects the Bank of Japan to further raise interest rates to 2.0% in March and July next year, thereby ending the current tightening cycle.
