周四,日元兑美元汇率突破154,从上一交易日的下跌中恢复,因为稳定的工资增长增强了人们对日本央行将继续走紧缩道路的预期。9月份名义工资上涨1.9%,高于8月份的1.5%,这得益于稳定的基本工资和加班收入的适度增长。尽管如此,工资增长仍落后于消费者价格指数3.4%的涨幅,导致实际工资下降1.4%,这是连续第九个月下降。日本央行行长上田和夫表示,在央行上周保持政策不变后,2026年的工资前景将是决定何时恢复紧缩的关键。与此同时,日本新任首相高一重申,日本尚未看到由强劲工资增长驱动的可持续通胀,这表明她的政府对进一步加息持谨慎态度。
The Japanese yen strengthened past 154 per dollar on Thursday, recovering from the previous session’s losses as steady wage growth reinforced expectations that the Bank of Japan will stay on its tightening path. Nominal wages rose 1.9% in September, up from a 1.5% gain in August, supported by stable base pay and a modest rise in overtime income. Still, wage growth lagged behind the 3.4% increase in consumer prices, resulting in a 1.4% drop in real wages and marking the ninth consecutive monthly decline. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda said the 2026 wage outlook will be key in deciding when to resume tightening after the central bank left policy unchanged last week. Meanwhile, new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi reiterated that Japan has yet to see sustainable inflation driven by strong wage gains, signaling her administration’s cautious stance toward further rate hikes.
