According to BlockBeats, a Reuters survey indicates that due to uncertainties surrounding U.S. tariff policies, the Bank of Japan is expected to refrain from raising interest rates this year. Most economists anticipate the next 25 basis point hike will occur in early 2026. Additionally, the majority of respondents believe the Bank of Japan will slow down its reduction of government bond purchases starting from the next fiscal year. Furthermore, three-quarters of those surveyed expect the Japanese government to reduce the issuance of super-long-term bonds. None of the 60 analysts surveyed from June 2 to 10 foresee an interest rate hike during the Bank of Japan's policy meeting on June 16-17.
