0448 GMT - The Bank of Japan is likely to raise the policy rate by 25 bps once more this year, PGIM Fixed Income says in a note. However, the central bank could accelerate rate hikes in the event Japanese consumers materially step up consumption, it says. The BOJ is approaching a nominal policy rate of around 2% via gradual rate hikes, with the latest increase taking the rate to the psychologically important level of 0.5%, it notes. In the long term, PGIM thinks the BOJ sees an appropriate policy rate of at least 1% on a nominal basis. (monica.gupta@wsj.com)
