Summary: A majority of economists expect the Bank of Japan to raise its key interest rate by at least 25 basis points in the fourth quarter, despite expectations of a U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut. The BOJ is likely to adjust its monetary easing stance due to risks of yen depreciation and asset bubbles. However, the likelihood of further rate hikes could diminish depending on the outcome of the upcoming Japanese prime ministerial election.
