#BOJRaisesRatesTo31YearHigh
🚨🇯🇵 BOJ RAISES RATES TO A 31-YEAR HIGH!
The Bank of Japan has raised its policy rate by 25 basis points, taking it from 1.00% → 1.25% — the highest level since 1995. 📈
🔹 BOJ rate: 1.25%
🔺 Increase: +25 bps
📅 Decision: Sept. 18, 2026
🗳️ Vote: 7–2
📊 Highest level: ~31 years
🔥 WHY IT MATTERS FOR MARKETS
Japan has been a major source of low-cost yen liquidity for global markets.
Higher Japanese rates can affect:
➡️ Yen-funded trades
➡️ Global bond yields
➡️ Liquidity conditions
➡️ Risk appetite
➡️ Crypto volatility
🇯🇵 Interestingly, the yen weakened after the hike, as markets focused on the two dissenting votes and the BOJ's future policy guidance.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: A rate hike does not automatically mean a crypto sell-off. Markets will continue watching Japan's inflation, the yen, bond yields and signals about future BOJ hikes.
👀 Japan's monetary policy is becoming an increasingly important macro factor for Bitcoin and global risk assets.
