日经225指数周三微涨0.07%,收于36819点,收盘时几乎持平,投资者消化了日本央行行长上田和夫的评论。上田表示,债券收益率上升反映了市场对未来加息的预期,表明日本央行对进一步政策调整持开放态度。与此同时,日本企业在年度春季劳资谈判中同意连续第三年大幅加薪,旨在帮助工人管理通货膨胀和解决劳动力短缺问题。预计加薪将提振消费者支出,加剧通货膨胀,并为央行未来加息提供更多空间。在企业新闻方面,日产汽车在宣布首席执行官内田诚将于4月1日辞职后上涨0.6%。虽然日产和本田之间的合并谈判此前陷入僵局,但有报道称,在内田离职后,本田仍愿意恢复谈判。
The Nikkei 225 Index edged up 0.07% to close at 36,819 on Wednesday, ending nearly flat as investors digested comments from Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda. Ueda stated that higher bond yields reflect market expectations for future rate hikes, signaling the BOJ’s openness to further policy adjustments. Meanwhile, Japanese firms agreed to substantial wage hikes for the third consecutive year during annual spring labor negotiations, aiming to help workers manage inflation and address labor shortages. The pay increases are expected to boost consumer spending, fueling inflation and providing the central bank with more room for future rate hikes. In corporate news, Nissan Motor gained 0.6% after announcing that CEO Makoto Uchida will step down on April 1. While merger talks between Nissan and Honda had previously stalled, reports suggest Honda remains open to resuming discussions following Uchida’s departure.
