Large deviation from the market's "speculation" [Economic column]

2023-01-15 00:17:00
On the 20th of last month, the Bank of Japan unexpectedly revised its monetary easing measures and raised the upper limit of the fluctuation range of long-term interest rates. Governor Kuroda emphasized at a press conference that the BOJ was not raising interest rates or tightening monetary policy, but the market did not take it that way. Due to the speculation that the Bank of Japan will be forced to make further policy revisions, the bond market on the 13th has strengthened the movement to sell government bonds, and the long-term interest rate has risen to 0.545%. It surpassed the 0.5% upper limit raised by the Bank of Japan last month for the first time. What kind of world does the market see in the future? I interviewed.
