BoJ Deputy Governor: Central bank likely to keep hiking rates based on trends

Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Himino said on Friday that the central bank is likely to keep hiking interest rates based on ongoing economic, price, and financial trends. He emphasized that currency movements may affect inflation expectations and core inflation, and that the BoJ will continue to monitor developments closely.

Himino's remarks align with the BoJ's recent hawkish stance as it gradually normalizes monetary policy. Markets will watch for further commentary and upcoming economic data for clues on the pace of rate increases.
