The Bank of Japan remains low-key, but the market has already done the math. On April 6, the Bank of Japan issued subtle signals in its quarterly regional economic report—indicating it currently does not want to trigger market expectations of a rate hike this month. The views of branch managers show that rising energy prices could impact corporate profits and private consumption, so the BOJ is not rushing to commit to a rate increase. The overnight swap market indicates that traders still assign about a 66% probability of a rate hike this month, but geopolitical tensions have further increased inflation risks. Companies are seeking a balance between raising prices and maintaining low-cost products to cope with consumer fatigue over inflation. In the financial world, those who understand "trends" always prepare their strategies in advance. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战 #假期持币指南 $MMT $TRU $OPEN
