updates: The Bank of Japan has officially ended its negative interest rate policy and raised its benchmark interest rate for the first time in 17 years. The decision was made based on the expectation of stable and continuous 2% inflation. The bank will continue to monitor prices and maintain easy monetary policy for some time. Japanese companies have announced robust wage hikes, and the economy has recovered moderately. The market reaction was muted as the decision had been anticipated. The Bank of Japan will continue with government bond purchases and adjust quickly depending on economic trends.

updates: Bank of Japan raises interest rates for the first time in 17 years

Version 1.06 (2024-03-19 08:21:09.527000)

updates: The Bank of Japan has raised the interest rate for the first time in 17 years, changing its short-term policy rate from -0.1% to between 0 to 0.1%. The BoJ maintained a negative rate since 2016 to encourage banks to lend more to businesses and stimulate the economy. The central bank has closed its other unorthodox approaches, such as its yield curve control program on bonds and purchasing risk assets like exchange-traded funds and real estate investment trusts. The hike will result in expensive loans for the public and increase Japan's bill for servicing the national debt, which currently stands at nearly 260% of the national output. The policy has weakened the domestic currency, the yen, against the American dollar, benefiting exporters but making imports more expensive for consumers.

updates: The Bank of Japan has raised interest rates for the first time since 2007, marking a historic shift in Japan's monetary policy. The BOJ has also ended unorthodox measures such as yield curve control.

The BOJ will continue bond buying in 'broadly the same amount' as before, but it has lowered the higher end of planned purchase ranges for almost all tenors, indicating a potential reduction in buying unless yields surge. The yen has weakened in response to the rate hike.

MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.2 percent to its highest level since early August. Investors are keeping tabs on China-US tensions after the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved a bill that would force TikTok's Chinese ByteDance owner to divest from the company or see the platform be banned in the United States. An Asia Pacific equity gauge was little changed, with gains in South Korea offset by losses in Hong Kong. Sentiment remained fragile in Chinese markets despite officials pledging central government funds to encourage consumers and businesses to replace old equipment and goods. Shares related to Asian copper miners advanced after the metal jumped to an 11-month high on potential capacity cuts at Chinese smelters. Contracts for US equities ticked marginally higher after a listless US session on Wednesday with the S&P 500 ending lower and the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 falling 0.8%. US data due later in the week will offer further signs of the health of the US economy and the effect of monetary policy. The Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision is due next week.

Version 0.62 (2024-03-11 15:41:25.621000)

updates: Asian markets mostly fell after a forecast-busting jobs report dampened US interest rate cut hopes. Traders are now factoring in three rate cuts this year, compared with six that were pencilled in three months ago. Japanese equities were weighed by a tech sell-off after losses for the sector in New York, while exporters also took a hit from a stronger yen as reports said the country's central bank was considering shifting away from its ultra-loose monetary policy soon. Hong Kong extended Friday's gains and Shanghai fluctuated following figures showing a bigger-than-forecast jump in Chinese consumer prices last month. Bitcoin fell slightly, having hit a fresh record high above $70,000 for the first time on Friday as demand picks up and traders grow optimistic about the prospect of interest rates coming down this year.

Version 0.09 (2024-02-02 08:31:50.119000)

updates: Asian shares mostly rose on Friday, following a Wall Street rally led by big tech stocks. Japan's Nikkei 225 added 0.5%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 jumped 1.5%, and South Korea's Kospi surged 2.7%. However, Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 0.4% and the Shanghai Composite index dropped 2.4%. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 gained 1.2%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1%, and the Nasdaq composite leaped 1.3%. Big Tech stocks, such as Microsoft and Alphabet, played a significant role in the market rebound. The positive sentiment was also supported by reports suggesting a solid economy and easing inflation pressures. Merck and Etsy reported stronger-than-expected profit and revenue, while New York Community Bancorp fell after reporting a loss and cutting its dividend. Peloton Interactive dropped after giving a revenue forecast that fell short of expectations. Traders are betting that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting interest rates in May. In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude rose to $74.09 a barrel, and the U.S. dollar was little changed against the Japanese yen and the euro.
