Japan business sentiment hits eight-year high

Original: Japan business mood reaches 8-year high, bolsters case for BOJ hikes

Japanese business confidence has climbed to its highest level in eight years, according to a widely watched survey of corporate sentiment reported by Reuters. The improvement in mood among firms is seen as strengthening the case for the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates further as it continues to normalise monetary policy. Analysts are watching whether strong corporate conditions will translate into sustained wage growth and inflation.

Why now: Strong business sentiment fuels speculation about when the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates next.
