The first quarter of 2024 has not ended, and new changes have occurred in the world financial pattern.
On March 19, the Bank of Japan announced that the benchmark interest rate raised the benchmark interest rate from -0.1%to 0-0.1%, which was the first time that the bank had raised interest rates in 17 years.This marks that Japan has maintained a super loose monetary policy for about 11 years.
Affected by the above news, the Nikkei 225 index was strong, and the final closure of 0.66%was reported to 40003.6 points, reaching a 40,000 mark.The ETF (513800) of the Japanese East Stock Index has also risen, which has risen by more than 10%this year.
Subsequently, the Governor of the Bank of Japan, Shi Tian and the man, delivered a speech saying that the inflation target was close at hand.He further stated that the Bank of Japan is expected to continue to implement loose monetary policy in the future to support the steady development of the economy.
In fact, the expectations given by professional institutions for interest rate hikes are even more bold.For example, well -known international professional institutions have predicted that the Bank of Japan may raise policy interest rates to 0.25%in 2025.
The interest rate hike in this compartment is still hot, and another country in that compartment suddenly announced the interest rate cut.
On March 21, the Swiss Central Bank unexpectedly announced that it had reduced interest rates by 25 basis points, and the adjustment of the benchmark interest rate decreased from 1.75%to 1.5%.
Analysts said that the Swiss Bank’s accident cuts further consolidated the possibility of the ease of monetary policy in the world this summer. Traders believe that the possibility of the European Central Bank’s interest rate cut in June increased, and then the Fed and the British Bank.
The boots that have been paying attention to the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cuts have not fallen in the first quarter, but the sudden approach of other countries shows the complexity and diversity of international finance again.
