Tokyo (Reuters) -hawkish remarks from the Bank of Japan and Sticky Inflation are the yields of bonds with regard to multi-year highlights and push the expectations of the forward speed, so that long-term views are shaken that the rates would not rise much in historical deflation -sensitive economy.

Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities said on Monday that it now expects the BoJ to increase interest rates to 0.75% in July to 0.5%, instead of in October-December.

It also pushed the timing from a next increase to 1.0% to January 2026 of the last quarter of that year ahead, which indicates growing signs that the price pressure will continue to exist.

Former BoJ official Nobuyasu Atago sees the chance of a walk at the meeting of April 30 and April 1, given the rising attention of the BoJ to the risk of an inflation overrun.

“The next interest rate rise of the Boj could unexpectedly come quickly. Markets probably start to praise,” he said about recent increases in the returns of the Japanese bond.

The returns of the Japanese bonds of the State have risen as the markets reconsider their opinion that De BoJ will not increase the rates more than 1% – the lower end of its personnel estimate that Japan’s nominal neutral percentage in a range of 1% to 2.5% places.

BoJ board member Hajime Takata’s speech and news conference on Wednesday will be investigated by markets for instructions on the timing and the pace of further tariff increases.

De BoJ increased to 0.5% in the short term in January and meant his willingness to further increase the position that the economy was progressing in the direction of his 2% inflation objective.

In a quarterly report issued on January 24, the BoJ has included analyzes on how chronic labor shortages lead to growing wage -driven inflation – building the case for more tariff increases.

A week later, Boj -place replacement governor Ryozo Himino said that it was “not normal” for the real interest rates of Japan to stay negative for too long. Board member Naoki Tamura also said earlier this month that the BoJ should increase rates until the beginning of 2026 at least 1%.

The Hawkish BoJ signals have led markets to the prize in a chance of about 80% on an interest rate increase at 0.75% in July. A survey in the private sector showed that most economists agreements in the second half of this year.
