The Bank of Japan kept interest rates steady today, signaling potential further hikes as Tokyo's core inflation exceeded the central bank's 2% target in October, per Reuters.

Tokyo’s inflation data reflects broader economic pressures, with officials noting that while the rate increase was modest, it marks a shift from previous easing policies.

Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei stock index dropped 3% as tech stocks fell amid concerns over artificial intelligence market trends, Bloomberg reports.

Fulkrum announced it has opened its first Japan office in Tokyo and appointed a country manager, as reported by Oceannews.com.
