BOJ chief doesn't rule out continuous rate hikes to curb inflation
- —The rate was raised by 25 bps to 1.25%, the highest since 1995
- —Two of the nine board members voted against the hike
- —Ueda: the pace and scale of hikes depend on price dynamics
- —Key risks for the rate are the Middle East, AI demand and the yen
Why it matters: Accelerating normalization of BOJ policy increases volatility in the yen and global rates, pressuring risk assets including crypto.
