周五，日经225指数上涨0.24%，收于38814点，东证指数上涨0.54%，收于2747点，扭转了盘中早些时候的跌幅，因为日本央行在3月份的会议上进行了七年来的首次加息后，决定在6月份保持利率不变。日本央行还表示，将以目前的速度购买日本政府债券，并将在7月的下一次政策会议上决定如何削减债券购买，这违背了市场对其将在本月宣布减少巨额债券购买的预期。从外部来看，日本股市追随华尔街涨势，因为美国通胀数据低于预期，使美国多次降息的希望依然存在。科技股领涨，迪斯科公司（2.3%）、软银集团（3.4%）和瑞萨电子（2.4%）领涨。日经225指数本周上涨0.34%，东证指数下跌0.31%。

The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.24% to close at 38,814 while the broader Topix Index gained 0.54% to 2,747 on Friday, reversing losses from earlier in the session as the Bank of Japan decided to keep interest rates unchanged in June as widely expected, after conducting its first rate hike in seven years at the March meeting. The BOJ also said it will buy Japanese government bonds at the current pace and would decide on how to trim bond purchases at the next policy meeting in July, defying market expectations that it will announce a reduction of its huge bond buying this month. Externally, Japanese shares tracked gains on Wall Street as cooler-than-expected US inflation figures kept hopes for multiple US rate cuts alive. Technology stocks led the advance, with strong gains from Disco Corp (2.3%), SoftBank Group (3.4%) and Renesas Electronics (2.4%). The Nikkei 225 Index advanced 0.34% this week, while the Topix Index lost 0.31%.

2024年4月，日本工业生产环比下降0.9%，远低于0.1%的闪电数据和4.4%的增长，这是自2022年6月以来的最大增幅。最新结果标志着今年迄今为止的第三次下降，主要是由于运输设备（-1.7%对3月份的12.6%）、通用和面向商业的机械（-3.0%对2.6%）以及电气机械和信息通信电子设备（-2.4%对1.8%）的产量下降。今年4月，工业产出连续第六个月下降1.8%。

Industrial production in Japan dropped 0.9% month-over-month in April 2024, much worse than flash data of a 0.1% fall and after a 4.4% growth which was the steepest rise since June 2022. The latest result marked the third time of decrease so far this year, mostly pressured by lower output among transport equipment (-1.7% vs 12.6% in March), general-purpose and business-oriented machinery (-3.0% vs 2.6%), and electrical machinery and information and communication electronics equipment (-2.4% vs 1.8%). Yearly, industrial output dropped by 1.8% in April, the sixth straight month of contraction.

日本10年期政府债券收益率大幅下跌至0.9%左右，创下五周低点，因为日本央行在3月份的会议上进行了七年来的首次加息后，决定在6月份保持利率不变。日本央行还表示，将以目前的速度购买日本政府债券，并将在7月的下一次政策会议上决定如何削减债券购买，这违背了市场对其将在本月宣布减少巨额债券购买的预期。上周，日本央行行长上田一夫重申，央行将逐步缩减其庞大的资产负债表，尽管时间尚不确定。与此同时，日本央行前董事会成员木内隆藏表示，该行可能会将其灵活的债券购买计划作为一种“微调工具”，以使自己有能力应对增长和通胀的上行和下行风险。

Japan’s 10-year government bond yield fell sharply to around 0.9%, hitting five-week lows as the Bank of Japan decided to keep interest rates unchanged in June as widely expected, after conducting its first rate hike in seven years at the March meeting. The BOJ also said it will buy Japanese government bonds at the current pace and would decide on how to trim bond purchases at the next policy meeting in July, defying market expectations that it will announce a reduction of its huge bond buying this month. Last week, BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda reaffirmed that the central bank will gradually scale back its huge balance sheet, although the timing remains uncertain. Meanwhile, former BOJ board member Takahide Kiuchi said the bank is likely to maintain its flexible bond purchase program as a “fine-tuning tool” to allow itself the ability to combat both upside and downside risks to growth and inflation.
