日本央行上田：价格趋势正朝着2%的通胀目标上升。日本央行行长上田和夫在周五的政策会议后新闻发布会上发表讲话，解释了将利率上调至0.50%的决定背后的原因。

BoJ's Ueda: Price trend is rising towards 2% inflation target.Bank of Japan (BoJ) Governor Kazuo  Ueda  speaks at the post-policy meeting press conference on Friday, explaining the reasons behind the decision to raise the interest rate to 0.50%.

日本央行行长上田章男即将召开新闻发布会。这是日本央行当天早些时候加息的结果。但推动这一决定的因素以及市场认为更为鹰派的是与这一决定相关的强劲通胀预测。

Heads up: BOJ governor Ueda press conference coming up.This follows from the BOJ rate hike earlier in the day. But the kicker to that and the thing that markets are viewing as more hawkish was the strong inflation forecasts associated with the decision.

日本10年期政府债券收益率周五升至1.23%以上，达到一周高点，此前日本央行决定将利率上调25个基点至0.5%，正如预期的那样。此举使短期借贷成本达到16年来的最高水平。央行还预测，通胀将在预测期的下半年达到2%的目标，这表明有可能进一步加息。此外，日本央行表示相信，在即将到来的春季工资谈判中，企业将提供稳定的工资增长。在经济方面，日本的核心通胀率在12月飙升至3%的16个月高点，支持了加息背后的理由。然而，1月份制造业活动连续第七个月收缩，而服务业则出现增长，达到四个月来的最高点。

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield rose above 1.23% on Friday, reaching a one-week high following the Bank of Japan's decision to raise interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.5%, as anticipated. This move has brought short-term borrowing costs to the highest in 16 years. The central bank also forecasted that inflation would reach its 2% target in the second half of its projection period, signaling the possibility of further rate hikes. Additionally, the BOJ expressed confidence that businesses would offer solid wage increases in the upcoming spring wage negotiations. On the economic front, Japan’s core inflation rate surged to a 16-month high of 3% in December, supporting the rationale behind the rate hike. However, manufacturing activity contracted for the seventh consecutive month in January, while the services sector saw growth, reaching a four-month high.
