BOJ's Himino says Mideast developments will factor into rate decision

BOJ deputy says rate decisions will hinge on fallout from the Middle East conflict, which could sharply change economic and inflation forecasts.
Policymakers still expect to keep raising rates to tame inflation, and markets see about an 80% chance of a rate hike at the June 15–16 meeting.
Surging fuel costs from the conflict have pushed 10‑year JGB yields to around 2.8%, complicating Japan’s inflation-versus-growth trade-off.
