The decisive factor was that Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda strongly hinted at a press conference that day (July 31st) that policy interest rates would be raised as soon as possible, in September or later. Ueda explicitly stated that if necessary, the pace of interest rate hikes would be "accelerated." The US side gave a positive assessment, and both sides were aligned in preventing excessive yen depreciation. This is because the US is concerned that Japans slow pace of interest rate hikes has led to excessive yen depreciation, which could trigger further price increases and a rise in long-term interest rates, potentially impacting global financial markets. A senior Japanese government official revealed: "Governor Uedas statement was very persuasive to the US. At the same time, this also means that the Bank of Japan has no choice but to raise interest rates at its next policy meeting (September 17-18)."
