On January 23, the Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept interest rates unchanged for the coming month, citing market concerns over fiscal policy, inflation, geopolitical tensions, and ongoing volatility—all ahead of a general election. The BOJ’s policy board voted 8-1 to hold the short-term interest rate at 0.75%, with only board member Takashi Highsada dissenting. Highsada argued the price stability target had been largely achieved and proposed raising the short-term rate target from 0.75% to 1.0%. Markets are now on edge for any hawkish signals from the central bank. This follows Prime Minister Sanae Takamichi’s pledge to cut the consumption tax, which triggered turmoil in Japan’s government bond market and weighed on the yen. Some analysts warn the yen could face fresh pressure if BOJ Governor Haruo Ueda fails to clearly signal further rate hikes—especially as the BOJ aims to avoid a political backlash ahead of the February 8 early election.
