According to the latest report from Gate's financial market research team, despite facing numerous uncertainties, the possibility of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) raising interest rates again within this year still exists. This analysis is based on a comprehensive assessment of Japan's economic fundamentals, suggesting that economic performance may offset the adverse effects brought about by the domestic political environment.

Gate analysts pointed out that despite some fluctuations in the Japanese political scene recently, Central Bank decision-makers seem to be more focused on the trends of macroeconomic indicators. Factors such as inflation remaining above target levels, a tightening labor market, and improving corporate profits may provide further justification for the BoJ to tighten monetary policy.

However, the Gate research team also emphasized that any policy adjustments will depend on the performance of economic data in the coming months. They believe that the BoJ may cautiously weigh various factors to ensure that policy changes do not negatively impact economic recovery.

It is worth noting that Gate analysts stated that even if the BoJ does take action within the year, the expected rate hike will remain moderate, gradually achieving policy normalization. This reflects the Central Bank's cautious attitude in balancing economic growth and price stability.

Gate reminds investors to closely monitor Japan's economic indicators, policymakers' statements, and global financial market trends, as these factors may influence the BoJ's decision-making process. At the same time, it is recommended that market participants fully consider various possibilities and appropriately manage risks when making investment decisions.
