新华财经北京12月19日电澳新银行集团（ANZ）策略师菲利克斯·瑞安（Felix Ryan）表示，尽管日本央 行已启动加息，但美元兑日元汇率反而走高，反映出市场尚未获得关于其未来加息步伐与幅度的明确指 引。 这一预期意味着，即便日本货币政策逐步正常化，其相对于美国等主要经济体的利率优势仍显不足，难 以支撑日元显著升值。在全球主要央行货币政策分化持续的背景下，日元作为传统融资货币的地位短期 内或难有根本性改变。 （文章来源：新华财经） 瑞安指出："日本央行加息后，美元兑日元走高，这可能表明市场尚未看到日本央行加息步伐或幅度的 明确迹象。这一问题可能会在今天晚些时候行长植田和男的新闻发布会上得到进一步明确。" 他强调，虽然澳新银行确实预计日本央行将在2026年继续推进加息，但"日元在未来一年仍将落后于十 国集团（G10）交叉盘"，主要原因是当前利差格局对日元依然不利。基于此判断，该行维持对2026年 底美元兑日元汇率为153的预测。 ...

Investinglive分析师Eamonn Sheridan表示，人们普遍预计日本央行12月将加息25个基点，目前市场几乎 已经完全消化了这一预期。尽管加息几乎是板上钉钉的事，外界对植田和男将采取强硬态度的预期并不 高。政策制定者仍敏锐地留意着日本政府债券收益率的大幅上升，以及国内金融状况对利率上升的敏感 性。即使在符合预期的加息之后，日本央行仍将实际利率评估为负值，这强化了这样一种观点，即实际 政策将保持宽松，紧缩将谨慎进行。目前市场定价显示，日本央行最早将在明年6月或7月再次加息。然 而，一些分析人士认为，这一时间表过于激进。越来越多的观点认为，2026年10月是一个更现实的窗 口，让日本央行有时间评估借贷成本上升对企业融资、 银行贷款、家庭消费和资本支出的影响。春季 工资谈判和日元汇率将是这一评估的特别重要因素。 ...
