A 25-basis-point rate hike by the Bank of Japan next week is all but certain, with the real uncertainty shifting to "how quickly rates will rise thereafter."
According to informed sources, the Bank of Japan is highly likely to raise interest rates next week, with a 25-basis-point hike best aligning with current assessments. As oil prices surge back above $100 per barrel, market focus has shifted from “whether rates will be raised” to whether Kazuo Ueda will open the door to accelerated tightening in subsequent meetings. However, he may continue to leave the terminal rate unspecified.

Sell orders targeting a pullback are likely to emerge.
[Equity Market Opening Comment] Japanese stocks are likely to face initial selling pressure on the 10th amid heightened caution over Middle East tensions, with subsequent market conditions expected to remain unfavorable for dip-buying strategies. In the U.S. market on the 9th, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by $405, and the Nasdaq Composite dropped by 168 points. Sentiment was dampened by crude oil futures rising to the $96 per barrel range in response to escalating military confrontations between the U.S. and Iran. Additionally, a rise in U.S. long-term interest rates due to inflation concerns further cooled market sentiment. Chicago Nikkei

The session closed with a gradual pullback in activity.
The Nikkei Stock Average continued its slight decline, closing at 65,142.78 yen, down 126.55 yen (estimated trading volume: 2.3 billion shares). Taking cues from the previous day's decline in major U.S. indices such as the Dow Inc, the market opened with selling pressure, and the Nikkei briefly dipped to 65,076.19 yen shortly after the start of trading. However, buying interest emerged ahead of the psychological milestone of 65,000 yen as investors sought a technical rebound, supported by the resilience of some U.S. semiconductor-related stocks, which helped lift morning-lagged semiconductor and artificial intelligence (AI) related shares.

“I am now the house; come and bet against me if you dare.” Bessent warned the market not to challenge him by shorting the yen.
Bessent stated, “When we intervene in the yen market, I have a thorough understanding of what the Japanese authorities, the Bank of Japan, and Japanese policymakers will do.” Coupled with the fundamental support from the Bank of Japan’s expected 25-basis-point rate hike this month, short sellers will face a dual onslaught from both policy intervention and a shift in interest rates. Analysts believe that Bessent’s tough rhetoric serves not only as psychological pressure but also hints that further actions are poised to follow.

Japanese media: The Bank of Japan is expected to raise interest rates by 25 basis points next week, with the pace of hikes potentially accelerating to "once per quarter."
Expectations of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan are intensifying, with Japanese media reporting that the central bank may raise rates by 25 basis points to 1.25% at next week's meeting. The pace of tightening could also accelerate from once every six months to once per quarter. Yen depreciation and rising oil prices have pushed up inflation, serving as key drivers for an accelerated policy shift, although internal divisions remain within the central bank regarding the path of rate hikes.
Express News | According to Kyodo News, the Bank of Japan plans to raise interest rates to 1.25% at its meeting on September 17–18.
