Japanese bank data fuel rate rise talk　
日本银行业上月放贷创5年多最大增幅

来源: FT中文网

日本银行6月份贷款升幅创5年多来最高水平，而机械定单5月份的降幅低于预期，令市场对日本央行(Bank of Japan)将于本周晚些时候加息的预期进一步升温。

Japanese bank lending in June rose at the fastest annual pace in more than five years and machinery orders fell less than expected in May, further fuelling expectations that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates later this week.

包括信用合作社贷款在内的银行贷款，较上年同期增加1.7%，达到444.834万亿日元(合3.9万亿美元)，创下自2001年1月日本央行采用现行计算方法以来的最大同比增幅。

Bank lending, including lending by credit unions, rose 1.7 per cent from a year earlier to Y444,834bn ($3,900bn), the biggest year on year rise since the central bank adopted its current calculation method in January 2001.

同时，经季节因素调整后，日本5月份核心私营部门机械定单较上月减少2.1%，降幅远低于普遍预期的5.3%。

Meanwhile, core private sector machinery orders fell 2.1 per cent month on month（MoM） in May on a seasonally adjusted basis, much less than consensus forecasts of a 5.3 per cent drop.

雷曼兄弟(Lehman Brothers)在昨日公布的一份报告中指出，上述数据与日本央行6月份短观调查(Tankan)结果相符。短观调查显示，日本企业的资本支出意愿仍非常强烈。

The data are consistent with the BoJ’s June Tankan survey, which indicated that corporate appetite for capital spending remained very strong, Lehman Brothers noted in a report published yesterday.
