The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept its policy rate unchanged at 1% but warned for the first time that underlying inflation could exceed its 2% target. The central bank cited surging AI demand, a weak yen, and rising wages as upside risks to prices. Most analysts now expect Japan's next rate hike by December. BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda signaled more rate hikes are likely, with the weak yen being a key factor in assessing inflation risks.
