周四,日本10年期政府债券收益率保持在1.6%以上,徘徊在17年来的高点,因为投资者加大了对日本央行进一步收紧政策的押注。由于通货膨胀率居高不下,工资增长落后于物价上涨,日本央行加息的压力越来越大。在7月份的会议上,央行上调了通胀预期,并为年底前可能加息敞开了大门。尽管如此,上田和夫行长还是采取了谨慎的语气,强调“潜在通胀”尚未完全达到2%的目标。在数据方面,日本制造业在8月份接近稳定,而服务业增长放缓。在全球范围内,市场等待美联储杰克逊霍尔研讨会发出更广泛的利率路径信号。
Japan’s 10-year government bond yield held above 1.6% on Thursday, hovering at 17-year highs, as investors strengthened bets on further Bank of Japan tightening. Pressure has been mounting on the BOJ to raise rates as inflation remains elevated and wage growth lags behind price increases. At its July meeting, the central bank raised its inflation outlook and left the door open to a possible hike by year-end. Still, Governor Kazuo Ueda has struck a cautious tone, emphasizing that “underlying inflation” has yet to firmly reach the 2% target. On the data front, Japan’s manufacturing sector edged closer to stability in August while services growth slowed. Globally, markets awaited the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole symposium for signals on the broader rate path.
