Bloomberg: Japan's government said to support a BOJ rate hike as early as next month

Reports that Japan's government supports a BOJ rate hike as soon as next month raises the probability of earlier policy normalization. That shifts rate differentials against USD and can tighten domestic financial conditions, typically supportive for JPY and negative for risk assets sensitive to higher global yields. Markets may reprice Japan rate expectations, increasing FX volatility and pressuring carry trades linked to yen funding.
