BREAKING: Bank of America now expects the Bank of Japan to hike rates in April, earlier than June.

A 25bp move would lift the policy rate to 1.00%, after December’s rise to 0.75% — a 30-year high.

BofA also forecasts another hike in September 2026 and two more in 2027, pointing to a longer tightening cycle.
