The US dollar against the Japanese yen has fallen about 20 points in the short term, currently reported at 146.88. According to Bloomberg, informed sources revealed that after the US and Japan reached a trade agreement this week, officials from the Bank of Japan believe that they may consider raising interest rates again this year. The sources said that officials believe the agreement reduces a key source of uncertainty for the Japanese economy and businesses, allowing the central bank to focus on monitoring the actual impact of tariffs on upcoming economic data. With the trade situation becoming clearer, the central bank may be able to make policy decisions at an earlier stage after analyzing data and information from businesses. The sources indicated that if the agreement sets most tariffs at 15% without changes, officials expect the central bank to have sufficient data by the end of this year to consider whether a rate hike is appropriate. They stated that the Bank of Japan will also closely monitor Japan's price trends and the progress of trade negotiations with other countries as it considers this possibility.
