The uncollateralized overnight call rate, a benchmark for short-term interest rates in Japan's money market, rose above zero pct Thursday for the first time since March 2016.
   The interbank lending rate climbed to a weighted average of plus 0.074 pct Thursday from minus 0.001 pct the previous trading day. The market was closed Wednesday for a national holiday.
   The surge came after the Bank of Japan on Tuesday decided to terminate its negative interest rate policy in its first rate hike in 17 years.
   The BOJ readopted the unsecured overnight call rate as a target of its monetary policy operations, saying it will guide the rate to around zero pct to plus 0.1 pct.
