Japan Just Raised Rates to the Highest Level in 31 Years.

The Bank of Japan raised rates 25 BPS to 1.25% in a 7–2 vote, just three months after its previous hike — its fastest tightening pace in decades.

The BOJ warned inflation could overshoot its 2% target and signaled further hikes remain possible if its outlook holds.

Japan’s era of ultra-cheap money is disappearing fast.
