Bank of Japan Holds Rates Steady as Yen Gains Amid Global Market Volatility
The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept interest rates steady at 1.25%, as widely expected, signaling that inflation has reached its 2% target for the first time. The yen held gains against the dollar, reflecting a potential return to its traditional haven role amid global market volatility driven by declines in AI stocks and falling Treasury yields. Other major central banks also maintained rates amid persistent inflation and geopolitical tensions, with markets anticipating possible future hikes.
