🚨 Macro Alert: Eyes on Japan – Key Economic Data Dropping Today?
Traders are buzzing about potential volatility from Japan today (Dec 27, 2025), with whispers of important economic releases that could sway the BOJ's rate path and global markets.
Recent Tokyo CPI (Dec data, released Dec 26) cooled more than expected to 2.0% YoY (from 2.7%), easing inflation pressures and weakening the yen slightly. National Nov CPI held at 2.9%, still above the 2% target.
No major high-impact data confirmed for today per economic calendars – but end-of-year summaries or minor indicators could surprise. The BOJ already hiked to 0.75% last week (highest in 30 years), signaling gradual normalization.
Some fear tighter policy or hot data could strengthen the yen, unwind carry trades, and pressure risk assets like $BTC. But post-hike, markets absorbed it well – BTC even bounced!
Stay vigilant: Bad data unlikely to trigger immediate hikes (next meeting Jan), but macro sentiment matters in thin holiday liquidity. 📉🚀
