SummaryBOJ might end its 17-year low-rate policy amid rising wages and inflation. Diverse analyst views on rate hike timing; Fed meeting may affect yen direction. Japan's stock market faces historic changes due to policy shift.

On the eve of the upcoming Bank of Japan (BOJ) policy meeting, financial markets and analyst groups are vigorously discussing a potential historic turning point: ending the 17-year-long era of low interest rates. The momentum stems from recent wage increases and inflation growth, driving market expectations that the BOJ might adjust its monetary policy.

The BOJ has initiated discussions on raising interest rates, a move that directly impacts various aspects of Japan's economy, especially the fluctuations in the Nikkei 225 index and the exchange rate changes between the US dollar and the yen. Moreover, the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting and its potential decisions are also expected to significantly affect the future trend of the yen.

Regarding the specific policies that may be introduced at the BOJ meeting, especially the timing of the interest rate hike, analysts' opinions vary. Some predict that the BOJ may lean towards taking actions to raise interest rates at this meeting, based on recent positive changes in capital expenditure, wage growth pressure, and advanced discussions on Yield Curve Control (YCC) policy. Meanwhile, other analysts believe that the BOJ might choose to delay the interest rate decision until April, by which more data will support its policy-making process.

Analysts generally expect that, although the market is highly attentive to every move of the BOJ, even if the BOJ announces an interest rate hike, the trend of USD/JPY may still be limited by the decisions of the Federal Reserve. At the same time, for the Japanese stock market, the reaction to policy changes might be relatively mild, since the market has already anticipated changes to a certain extent.

The BOJ's decision will undoubtedly have a widespread impact on the global financial market, especially as analysts and market participants have begun to extensively predict possible policy shifts. Regardless of the BOJ's final decision, it will serve as an important reference for assessing the future direction of Japan's economy, and could also provide crucial clues for global monetary policy trends.

As the BOJ policy meeting approaches, global financial markets are focused on the possible changes to come and how these changes will affect long-term economic and monetary policies. In the current global economic environment, every decision by the BOJ is seen as an important indicator of future economic trends, both within Japan and globally.
