虽然日本央行一直在寻找加息的时机，只要经济和物价形势有所改善就加息，但已经连续四次会议维持 现有政策，这主要是因为美国的关税政策给日本经济和物价带来极大的不确定性。虽然8月份的日本消 费者物价指数上升2.7%，时隔9个月跌到3%以下，但日本央行内部有很多意见认为，需要在分析下个月 的企业短期经济观察调查和分行行长会议的报告后才能确认经济的走势。 尽管如此，市场还是认为日本央行会在今年10月或者12月，最迟到明年1月决定加息。虽然到10月初自 民党将选出怎样的新总裁还是一个不确定因素，但美国关税对日本经济带来的影响已经开始显现，比如 今年8月日本对美汽车出口额同比下降了28%，日本对美出口整体下降了13.8%。市场预测日本企业的业 绩将会进一步下滑，而企业员工的薪资增长势头能不能继续保持也会出现问题。所以，日本证券市场很 可能因为政治和经济因素而在10月份出现调整局面，美联储这次降息决定给日本市场带来的短期拉动效 应也可能迅速消失，留下的是美日货币政策方向差异再度显现。 美联储的降息实际上也制约了日本央行加息的可能性，因为日本不希望看到日元汇率的巨幅震荡。但如 果日本央行维持现有政策的话，日元可能继续贬值。如果 ...
