And we'll tell you what matters for investors in Europe, giving you insight before trading begins. The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate in a split decision showing dissent within the board as it confronts mounting inflation risks and unusually explicit calls for further policy normalization from Washington. US Treasuries rose as oil price declines and gains for UK government bonds reinforced improving sentiment after the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate hike and pledge to throttle inflation.
