๐Ÿšจ BOJ JUST RAISED RATES TO A 31-YEAR HIGH. ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ“ˆ
The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate from 1.00% to 1.25%, the highest level in 31 years, in a 7โ€“2 vote.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Why it matters:
โ€ข Higher Japanese rates can reduce the appeal of cheap-yen borrowing.
โ€ข Global liquidity could tighten if investors unwind yen-funded positions.
โ€ข Risk assets like BTC, ETH and stocks could face short-term volatility.
โ€ข But the hike was widely expected, and the yen actually weakened after the decision as markets focused on the BOJ's cautious guidance.
๐Ÿ‘€ Now all eyes are on Governor Uedaโ€™s comments for clues about the next rate move.
Do you think this BOJ hike will trigger a crypto dump or become a โ€œsell the newsโ€ event?
