市场的目光纷纷聚焦日本央行2025年内最后一次议息会议。12月19日，日本央行在货币政策会议上通过决议，决定加息25个基点，将政策利率 从0.5%上调至0.75%，日本政策利率由此达到30年以来的最高水平。 回顾日本央行上一次加息，还是在今年1月，当时利率从0.25%上调至0.5%，日本借贷成本达到17年以来的最高水平。时隔11个月日本央行再 度实施加息，如今，市场关注的焦点已转向"未来加息路径如何演绎"。12月19日，日本央行行长植田和男表示，日本央行基准利率仍与中性利 率区间的较低端存在一定距离，暗示在保持政策宽松的同时仍有加息空间。但他没有就下一步加息时间作出明确指引，表示货币调整的步伐将 取决于经济、物价和金融前景。 日本央行实施加息后，日本股债汇市场出现明显波动，日元短暂上升随即下跌，长期日债收益率上升，短期承压的日股则保持上扬。当前，日 本央行已正式告别超宽松货币政策周期，而美联储此前降息的靴子已落地。在此背景下，市场正密切关注两大议题：一是"日紧美松"的反向货 币政策表现是否会再次触发日元"套息交易"平仓，二是这一变化会给全球市场带来何种外溢风险。 此番加息，让日本30年以来的政策利率水平达到最 ...
