The Bank of Japan, led by Governor Kazuo Ueda, is closely monitoring yen fluctuations due to their impact on the economy and prices. With the yen weakening past 160 against the dollar, Ueda indicated that rising import costs could lead to interest rate hikes. He emphasized that while the BOJ does not directly control exchange rates, currency movements significantly influence economic conditions. The BOJ maintained its short-term rate at 0.75% but hinted at a tighter monetary policy to combat inflation, especially with rising oil prices.

- Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that the central bank will closely monitor yen fluctuations, as they impact the economy and prices.  
- This remark comes as the yen fell below 160 against the dollar, prompting threats of intervention from Japan's top currency diplomat.
