ChainThink report, October 31, Starling Bank analyst Ma Tieying commented that the Bank of Japan still has a possibility to raise its policy interest rate by 25 basis points in December.


This senior economist stated that the Japanese trade unions are expected to set the wage negotiation targets for 2026 around November to December. She said that the Japanese Trade Union Confederation has indicated that the wage growth target for 2026 is 5%, the same as this year.


The economist also said that if the Federal Reserve delays its rate cut in the December meeting, the likelihood of the Bank of Japan raising rates in December may increase, which would create an opportunity window for the Bank of Japan to take action. (Jin10)
