BoJ Considers Policy Adjustment Amid Rising Inflation Concerns
The Bank of Japan is signaling a possible shift in its long-standing monetary stance as inflation pressures continue to build. With prices staying above target and wage trends showing signs of strength, policymakers are evaluating whether to adjust their ultra-loose policy to prevent overheating.
A policy tweak—such as altering yield curve control or raising short-term rates—could strengthen the yen and influence global markets, especially risk assets and crypto. Investors are now watching closely, as any move by the BoJ could mark a major turning point after years of near-zero rates.
