周三,日元兑美元汇率跌至149,触及一个月低点,因政治不确定性给日元带来压力。日本首相石破茂的亲密盟友、执政党秘书长森山浩表示,他将辞职,这加剧了人们对石破茂未来的猜测,因为选举失败后要求下台的呼声越来越高。接替他的一位关键竞争者,高一真惠,被认为支持低利率。与此同时,日本央行副行长Ryozo Himino周二重申,央行应继续逐步加息,但强调全球风险仍然很高,这表明没有采取激进紧缩政策的紧迫性。投资者现在正在等待本周最新的工资数据,以获得政策前景的指导。
The Japanese yen weakened toward 149 per dollar on Wednesday, touching a one-month low as political uncertainty pressured the currency. Ruling party secretary general Hiroshi Moriyama, a close ally of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, said he would resign, fueling speculation about Ishiba’s future as calls to step down mount after an election defeat. One key contender to succeed him, Sanae Takaichi, is regarded as supportive of low interest rates. Meanwhile, Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Ryozo Himino reiterated Tuesday that the central bank should continue raising rates gradually but stressed that global risks remain high, signaling no urgency for aggressive tightening. Investors now await the latest wage data this week for guidance on the policy outlook.
