[Former Bank of Japan Official: Conditions for Japan's Rate Hike in September Are in Place] Deep Tide TechFlow reports, on August 25, according to Jin10 Data, former Bank of Japan official Seiji Adachi pointed out that the conditions for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates next month are already in place, and the market has almost fully priced in this move. He warned that if the central bank does not raise rates, the yen could weaken significantly again. Seiji Adachi mentioned that U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has repeatedly hinted that the Bank of Japan will be the next institution to take action, and stated that the government cannot intervene in the central bank's decisions. Given Japan's strong inflation momentum, the official expects the central bank to raise rates as anticipated in September and take further action again in January next year. He further noted that the current rate hike cycle is highly likely to last for some time, with interest rate levels potentially exceeding the previously expected cycle peak of 1.25% or 1.5%.
