日本央行决定维持利率不变后，日元走软，日本日经指数收窄早盘跌幅

美联储对明年宽松政策的谨慎立场引发华尔街抛售，日本股市早盘下跌

Japan's Nikkei share average trimmed its early losses on Thursday after the yen weakened, following the Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) decision to keep interest rates unchanged.

在日本央行（BOJ）决定维持利率不变后，日元走弱，日本日经指数周四收复早盘跌幅。

While markets largely anticipated that the BOJ would likely delay further tightening until January or March, the yen slipped about 0.3% to trade at 155.26 to the dollar at 0340 GMT.

尽管市场普遍预期日本央行可能会将进一步紧缩政策推迟到 1 月或 3 月，但格林尼治标准时间 0340 日圆下跌约 0.3%，至 1 美元兑 155.26 美元。

The Nikkei was down 0.75% at 38,790.14 after a 0.96% drop in the morning session. The broader Topix index bounced back from an initial 0.49% decline to end the session nearly flat.

日经指数早盘下跌 0.96%，下跌 0.75%，报 38,790.14 点。更广泛的东证指数从最初的 0.49% 跌幅中反弹，收盘时几乎持平。

Japanese government bonds showed little reaction to the rate decision. The benchmark 10-year futures were down 0.30 yen at 142.08 yen, and there was no significant movement in cash 10-year Japanese government bonds (JGBs) in the afternoon session.

日本政府债券对利率决定反应不大。基准10年期期货下跌0.30日元至142.08日元，下午时段日本10年期政府债券（JGB）现金没有显着变动。

Investors now await BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda's press conference at 0630 GMT for further clues on the timing of potential future rate hikes.

投资者现在等待格林尼治标准时间 0630 举行的日本央行行长上田一夫的新闻发布会，以获取有关未来可能加息时间的进一步线索。

Earlier, Japanese stocks fell, tracking a Wall Street sell-off triggered by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s cautious stance on easing next year, despite the expected quarter-point rate cut.

早些时候，日本股市下跌，追随美联储对明年宽松政策的谨慎立场引发的华尔街抛售，尽管预计降息四分之一个百分点。

"Given the Fed statement, which was somewhat hawkish, you might have expected the BOJ to provide a more hawkish outlook too, but that didn’t happen," said Alvin Tan, head of Asia FX strategy at RBC Capital Markets in Singapore.

新加坡皇家银行资本市场亚洲外汇策略主管Alvin Tan表示，“考虑到美联储的声明有些强硬，你可能预计日本央行也会提供更加鹰派的前景，但这并没有发生。”

"If Governor Ueda provides little clarity on imminent hikes, I suppose that will be seen as a dovish signal," Tan added.

“如果上田行长对即将到来的加息没有给出明确的说明，我想这将被视为一个鸽派信号，”谭补充道。

The Fed's stance sent U.S. Treasury yields soaring, which in turn lifted JGB yields at the open. This dynamic contributed to the poor performance of interest-rate sensitive sectors, with real estate stocks suffering the most, while financials were the strongest performers.

美联储的立场导致美国国债收益率飙升，进而推高日本国债开盘收益率。这种动态导致利率敏感行业表现不佳，其中房地产股遭受的打击最大，而金融股表现最为强劲。

The chip sector also saw significant losses, with Advantest down 3% and Tokyo Electron dropping 1.7%. Shares of SoftBank Group, an investor in artificial intelligence-focused startups, fell 4.3%, following a disappointing forecast from U.S. chipmaker Micron Technology, which signaled weak global demand.

芯片板块也出现大幅下跌，Advantest 下跌 3%，Tokyo Electron 下跌 1.7%。美国芯片制造商美光科技 (Micron Technology) 的预测令人失望，表明全球需求疲软，导致专注于人工智能初创公司的投资者软银集团 (SoftBank Group) 股价下跌 4.3%。
