According to reports from Jin Ten Data, the summary of opinions from the Bank of Japan's monetary policy meeting in July shows that one committee member stated that if the impact of U.S. tariffs on the economy is minimal, the Bank of Japan may end its wait-and-see mode and resume interest rate hikes before the end of the year. Another committee member pointed out that the Bank of Japan's policy interest rate is 0.5%, below the neutral level for the economy, and therefore must continue to raise rates.
