BOJ to raise interest rates again in Q4, possibly in October, say economists: Reuters Poll
Summary: Economists predict the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates by at least 25 basis points in Q4, possibly in October. While the U.S. job market weakness may delay the BOJ’s rate hike, concerns about inflation exceeding the 2% target persist. Financial markets anticipate one more quarter-point hike by year-end.
