Interest rates are currently quite high for Japan, by the way. I wouldn't commit myself to whether there will be another rate hike. I think it's more likely that interest rates will be cut by the end of the year.
@Dividenden-Sammler Yes, you're basically right. Since last August, Japan has had the highest interest rates since the 1990s (with one exception around 2007). But the Japanese central bank has repeatedly emphasized its intention to tighten monetary policy...
@Memo0606 Interest rate changes by central banks will always have an impact on the stock markets - depending on the direction. Rising interest rates tend to be harmful, falling interest rates tend to be better.
