The interest rate hike is approaching! The Bank of Japan has just released a heavy signal! According to Nikkei News, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that with the development of inflation and economic trends in line with the central bank's forecast, the interest rate hike is approaching. It is worth noting that bond issuers have significantly accelerated their borrowing plans before the next interest rate meeting of the Bank of Japan on December 18-19. This seems to mean that bond issuers want to raise funds at a lower cost before raising interest rates.
