Bank of Japan board member Junko Koeda said on October 15 that, given considerable upside risks to Japanese prices and still-loose financial conditions, the BOJ should not be overly cautious in raising its policy rate, adding that Japan's neutral rate is clearly above 1% — comments that reinforced expectations of further monetary tightening.

The CSOP Nikkei 225 Daily Inverse (-2x) Product (07515.HK) is a derivatives product under the CSOP Leveraged and Inverse Series, with the investment objective of providing two times the daily inverse (-2x) performance of the Nikkei Stock Average, seeking daily performance only and not intended to be held for more than one day. The product adopts a futures-based simulated investment strategy, directly investing in the nearest-quarter Nikkei 225 futures (and/or Nikkei 225 mini futures), with the Japanese yen as its base currency and trading in Hong Kong dollars; listed on May 29, 2024, it has a board lot of 10 units and an ongoing charges ratio of 1.92% a year.

Barclays expects the Bank of Japan to raise rates by another 25 basis points in December 2026, followed by further hikes in March and July 2027, ultimately lifting the policy rate to a terminal level of 2%; the key to the yen's direction lies in whether the central bank can signal a more aggressive tightening path.
