Japan’s 10-year government bond yield slipped to around 2.98% after the Bank of Japan raised interest rates in a widely anticipated move, with two officials dissenting from the decision. The central bank increased its policy rate by 25 basis points to 1.25%, the highest level since 1995. Board members Asada and Sato opposed the hike, suggesting the BOJ may proceed with further increases at a slower pace than initially expected. Meanwhile, Governor Kazuo Ueda said the central bank remains committed to raising rates and adjusting the degree of monetary accommodation in response to changing economic conditions, while noting that accommodative conditions are expected to remain in place to support economic growth. Japanese markets will be closed from September 21 to 23 for national holidays.
