BOJ Rate Hike: Yen or Bond Yields? A Global Market Impact

Financial experts are closely watching the Bank of Japans potential interest rate hike, which could impact carry trades and investments like Bitcoin. However, some analysts argue that the bigger risk lies in higher Japanese bond yields pushing up global bond yields, putting pressure on riskier assets. Even with a rate hike, borrowing in yen remains attractive due to low rates, and the market has likely already factored this in. The real concern is how higher Japanese interest rates could keep US Treasury yields high, making borrowing more expensive globally and reducing the appeal of riskier investments.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
