On December 11th, according to informed sources, officials of the Bank of Japan believe that it is not costly to raise interest rates later, and they are still open to taking action next week, depending on data and market trends. The authorities believe that even if the Bank of Japan decides to wait until January or later, it will not pay a huge price, because there are signs that there is little risk that inflation may exceed the target. They also said that if the December meeting proposed to raise interest rates, some officials would not object. According to people familiar with the matter, officials think it is only a matter of time to raise interest rates again, because the economy and inflation are in line with their forecasts. Before announcing the policy decision on December 19, officials will carefully evaluate the data and financial markets before making a final decision.

There has just been a sudden report that some policy makers of the Bank of Japan may support raising interest rates in December, but they also think it is unnecessary to rush because they think the cost of waiting for raising interest rates is "very small". After this news, the possibility of the Bank of Japan raising interest rates further dropped to about 23%. This, in turn, led to buying against the yen, while the yen fell. In the initial reaction, USD/JPY once fell to a low of 150.99, but then rose to around 152.30.The public security organs cracked down on the illegal and criminal activities of the network water army according to law.
