Stock market today: World shares slip after central banks crank interest rates still higher

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:19:51 GMT

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares slipped in Europe and Asia on Friday, a day after several central banks around the world cranked interest rates higher in their fight against inflation.

Japan reported its inflation rate was higher than expected, adding to expectations the central bank might adjust its policies to reflect upward price pressures, which have pushed the dollar’s value against the yen sharply higher. The Bank of Japan has kept its benchmark interest rate at minus 0.1% for a decade as policymakers keep credit cheap to encourage more investment and spending.
