周一，日元在假日交易中跌至140.5左右，在日本和美国货币政策分歧扩大的情况下，徘徊在2023年7月以来的最高水平附近。人们普遍预计，日本央行本周将保持利率稳定，同时为可能最早在10月再次加息敞开大门。上周，日本央行董事会成员田村直树表示，央行必须在2026财年之前将短期利率上调至至少1%左右，以稳定实现2%的通胀目标。日本央行董事会成员中川顺子也表示，如果经济和通胀符合其预测，央行将继续加息。另一方面，预计美联储本周将四年来首次降息，目前的市场定价倾向于更大幅度的50个基点的降息。

The Japanese yen rose to around 140.5 in holiday-thinned trading on Monday, hovering near its highest levels since July 2023 amid a widening monetary policy divergence between Japan and the US. The Bank of Japan is widely expected to hold rates steady this week while leaving the door open for another rate increase, possibly as soon as October. Last week, BOJ board member Naoki Tamura said that the central bank must push up short-term rates to at least around 1% through fiscal 2026 to stably achieve the 2% inflation target. BOJ board member Junko Nakagawa also said that the central bank will continue raising interest rates if the economy and inflation move in line with its forecasts. On the other hand, the US Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates for the first time in four years this week, with current market pricing leaning toward a larger 50 basis point reduction.

2024年7月，日本工业生产增长率从2.8%的临时数据上调至3.1%。最新结果也较6月份4.2%的五个月低点有所回升，表明今年迄今为止工业产出第三次扩张，主要原因是电机、信息和通信电子设备（6月份为7.5%对-2.8%）、生产机械（7.0%对-9.0%）和电子零部件和设备（9.7%对-5.8%）的产出强劲反弹。7月份工业产出年增长率为2.9%，与6月份7.9%的下滑和2023年1月以来的最大增幅相反。

Industrial production growth in Japan was revised upward to 3.1% month-over-month in July 2024 from flash data of a 2.8% increase. The latest result was also an upturn from June's five-month low of a 4.2% fall, indicating the third time of expansion in industrial output so far this year, mainly contributed by strong rebounds in the output of electrical machinery, and information and communication electronics equipment (7.5% vs -2.8% in June), production machinery (7.0% vs -9.0%), and electronic parts and devices (9.7% vs -5.8%). Yearly, industrial output grew by 2.9% in July, a reversal from a 7.9% slump in June and the strongest rise since January 2023.
