BOJ Appears More Wary of Falling Behind Curve on Inflation -- Market Talk

WSJApr 28 02:04 ET

Bank stocks gained across the board following the Bank of Japan meeting, amid rising expectations for a June interest rate hike.

Resona Holdings (8306) surged 151.5 yen (8.2%) from the previous day to reach 1,989.5 yen, and Sumitomo Mitsui Trust (8308) also rose over 4%, leading to a broad uptick in banking stocks in the afternoon session. The Bank of Japan announced the outcome of its monetary policy decision meeting during the Tokyo Stock Exchange's lunch break, revealing that three board members had proposed an interest rate hike. This fueled expectations for an additional rate increase at the next decision meeting (June 15-16), which became a buying catalyst for banking shares.
