State Street: Bank of Japan may raise interest rates again this year Gold Finance reported that on June 16, after the Bank of Japan decided to raise interest rates, the price of Japanese treasury bond remained weak. Masahiko Loo of State Street Investment Management said in his comments: "Although (President) Ueda and Amano were absent, the 7-to-1 voting result highlighted the strong momentum behind normalization, and the inflation camp was obviously in the minority." The senior fixed income strategist said: "The focus now turns to the press conference of (Vice President) Makichi Ueda, and the slightly tight tone and any hint of raising interest rates ahead of the September/October window will be closely watched, although this is a low probability result." State Street Investment Management expects the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates at least once this year. The yield of two-year Japanese treasury bond bonds rose 1.5 basis points to 1.410%; The 10-year yield rose 5 basis points to 2.625%.
