#MarketUpdate 📊

The market is in a waiting mode ahead of critical developments.

Tomorrow, all eyes will be on the Fed's interest rate decision. Following the decision, Kevin Warsh's speech will be closely watched by the markets. The interest rate path and future messages from central banks could be decisive in determining risk appetite.

Meanwhile, a historic decision came from Japan.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) raised its policy interest rate by 25 basis points to 1%. This level is the highest interest rate seen since 1995.

The decision is considered a significant step in Japan's exit from its long-standing ultra-loose monetary policy.

The BOJ also announced that it will slow down its government bond purchase reduction program starting in April 2027, keeping monthly purchases at approximately 2 trillion yen.

Following the decision, strong movement was seen in the Japanese stock market. The Nikkei index rose quickly, adding approximately $82 billion in market value to the Japanese equity market.

Three main issues are now in the focus of the markets:

• The Fed's interest rate message
• Global liquidity outlook
• Central banks' new policy balance

Interest rate decisions remain one of the most important factors affecting not only traditional markets but all risky assets, including crypto.

The coming hours may be volatile. 📈
