Bloomberg, citing informed sources, reported that Bank of Japan officials plan to consider raising the benchmark interest rate by 0.25 ppts this month and believe further rate hikes may be possible later this year.

Sources said the BOJ may discuss raising the policy rate to 1% at the meeting ending on Jun 16. Officials also noted that real interest rates remain relatively low and there are risks of persistent upside inflation, suggesting room for further rate increases. According to the sources, some opposition to a rate hike may emerge at the meeting, but it is unlikely to affect the final decision.

Another key focus of the meeting will be the BOJs latest bond purchase tapering plan. Sources indicated that officials see less need to continue reducing Japanese government bond purchases at the current pace starting from April next year.

The BOJ will hold its policy meeting on Jun 15-16. Based on overnight index swaps, market participants are currently pricing in an 88% probability of a rate hike at that time. As the Middle East crisis continues, the likelihood of accelerating inflation is high, which is also one of the factors pushing up market expectations. (da/u)~
