📊 BOJ Rate Hike – Market Impact
• Bank of Japan raised rates to 0.75% (highest in ~30 years)
• More gradual hikes expected if inflation & wages stay strong
🌍 Market Impact:
• Bonds: JGB yields up, borrowing costs rising
• FX: Yen volatile/weak as hikes are slow & cautious
• Stocks: Mixed reaction, exporters sensitive to yen moves
• Crypto: Short-term volatility; no major dump as hike was expected. Carry-trade unwinds may pressure risk assets if hikes continue
