BREAKING: Bank of Japan Raises Rates to 1.25% - Highest Since 1995! 🔥
The Bank of Japan just made history! On Sept 19, BOJ raised its key policy rate to 1.25% from 1% by a 7-2 vote.
Why? Inflation is finally above 2% target, wages are rising, and yen was getting weak.
Governor Kazuo Ueda said: "Our policy phase has changed. We must prevent inflation from overshooting."
Market Impact:
✅ Yen initially fell to 156.7 vs Dollar despite hike (dovish dissent)
✅ Bitcoin jumped to $77,400 after news
✅ Nikkei up, JGB yields up
This is huge for Crypto! End of ultra-cheap Yen carry trade could bring volatility, but BOJ says hike is still low vs US Fed & ECB.
Will BOJ hike again in 2026? Governor says no pre-set plan, meeting-by-meeting.
