@charliebilelloGlobal Central Bank Update: -The Bank of Japan hiked rates for the 6th time in the cycle with a 25 bps increase to 1.25%. This is their highest policy rate since 1995 but they remain far behind the curve.

@businessJapan's central bank chief is getting squeezed between a pro-growth prime minister and a US Treasury chief who wants faster rate hikes and a stronger yen https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2026-09-18/boj-s-ueda-balances-between-japan-s-takaichi-and-us-treasury-s-bessent?taid=6ab0a68cb2348200012c4e16&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_content=business&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter

@GlobalMktObserv🚨 WATCH THE JAPANESE YEN CLOSELY: The Yen is facing a potentially volatile week after falling more than -2% last week, its biggest weekly decline in almost a year. Japan’s 3-day holiday through Wednesday will reduce market liquidity, potentially amplifying moves in the yen and increasing the impact of any official intervention. The risk of intervention is already elevated after officials reportedly conducted a rate check on Friday, while Japan spent a record ¥15.4 trillion ($98 billion) on intervention in the month through August 26. Furthermore, the BOJ’s Friday's hike to 1.25% failed to provide clear guidance on the pace of future increases, with markets pricing less than a 20% chance of another hike in October but almost 90% for December. The Yen had rallied earlier this month on expectations of faster BOJ tightening, an unwind of yen-funded carry trades and potential shifts by Japanese pension funds toward domestic assets. That momentum has weakened as the Fed also hiked rates, raising concerns that the BOJ may struggle to keep pace with US tightening. The Yen is back under pressure.

@BullTheoryio🚨JAPAN MAY BE ON THE EDGE OF A SERIOUS INFLATION CRISIS The Bank of Japan just raised interest rates to 1.25%, the highest in 31 years, but markets are already expecting further tightening may be needed. Japan's economy is still expanding, with manufacturing PMI at 54.9 for an eighth straight month of growth and services at 52.5. But the pressure is building elsewhere. Japan's 10-year government bond yield hit 3%, its highest level in 30 years due to higher inflation, more BOJ rate hikes and growing fiscal concerns. At the same time, the yen remains around ¥157 per dollar despite the BOJ rate hike, keeping imported energy and commodities expensive. Japan imports virtually all of its oil, with about 95% coming from the Middle East - making it highly exposed to higher oil prices and a weak yen. A weak yen makes imports more expensive, adding to inflation and forcing the BOJ to keep rates higher, which pushes up bond yields and borrowing costs. Governor Ueda has now warned that inflation could rise above BOJ's 2% target and says every upcoming meeting could discuss further tightening. The latest rate hike was already passed by a divided 7-2 vote, the next move could come in October or December. Japan's PMI data on Thursday will therefore matter far more than usual. If Japan’s economy stays strong while companies keep passing higher costs to consumers, the BOJ could be forced into even more aggressive rate hikes. Japan spent decades trying to create inflation, but now it may be on the edge of a serious inflation crisis.

@Crypto_CorbeauJapan’s real problem may no longer be the level of interest rates itself, but the fact that the yen remains weak despite BOJ tightening.If the yen fails to strengthen, Japan keeps importing inflation through energy and commodities. That leaves the BOJ trapped: raise rates further to support the currency and contain prices, while simultaneously pushing up borrowing costs on an already enormous public debt burden.PMIs will matter, but the real signal to watch is the combination of yen + inflation + bond yields. That’s where the real risk is building.
