Odaily Planet Daily News: Krishna Bhimavarapu, an economist at State Street Global Advisors for the Asia-Pacific region, stated that the convergence of interest rates between the United States and Japan may accelerate after the Bank of Japan raised its overnight lending rate to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years. Japan is expected to experience strong macroeconomic tailwinds next year, which may strengthen the Bank of Japan's commitment to normalizing interest rates as the Federal Reserve cuts rates.
