Uncertainty in Rate Hikes: Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda indicated uncertainty regarding the neutral interest rate, suggesting caution in how much rates should be raised.
Market Implications: The potential for a rate hike has led to increased speculation in the markets, with analysts discussing the broader implications for the Japanese economy and its fiscal health.
