  "summary": "The Bank of Japan (BoJ) is set to raise interest rates to 1.25% at its September policy meeting, according to a Reuters poll, with additional hikes to 1.75% in the second quarter of 2027. This move is driven by persistent concerns over rising price pressures and a weakening Japanese Yen. A survey of 68 economists showed that 82% of them expect the BoJ to raise rates in September, up from 57% in a previous poll. Additionally, 24 economists anticipate another rate hike to 1.50% in either October or December, marking a significant increase from the previous 8%. The USD/JPY pair has shown an increase of 0.05% to 153.60 during the Asian session.",
