BoJ Official: No Clear Impact from US Trade Policy on Capex Plans

The remark reflects a stable investment outlook among domestic businesses, despite rising global trade uncertainty.

Key Insight: Business Sentiment Unshaken

• Firms are maintaining capital investment strategies without major adjustments due to US trade developments.
• The comment suggests that external trade policy shifts, including tariffs or bilateral negotiations, have not yet filtered into business planning in Japan.
