Nomura Securities: Japan's Central Bank is more hawkish than imagined

On July 31, Kinoko Data reported that Naka Matsuzawa, chief macro strategist at Nomura Securities, said that given today’s interest rate hike is only four months away from the first rate hike, the market should consider that the Japanese Central Bank may be more hawkish than previously thought. Without dropping the purchase of ultra-long-term government bonds, and the faster-than-expected interest rate hike indicates that the Japanese Central Bank hopes to push up short-term yields and indirectly hopes to prevent the yen from weakening. Although they did not say so in the statement, this may be the information.
