1.25% hits a 31-year high—what comes next for Japan’s stock market?
The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 1.25%, the highest level since 1995. For investors, an interesting question has emerged: are rate hikes and rising stock markets necessarily in conflict?
The answer is not that simple.
Markets have long been accustomed to Japan’s low-interest-rate environment, but the situation is now changing. The BOJ raised rates by 25 basis points this time, while emphasizing inflation risks and continuing to pursue policy normalization. Coming just three months after the previous adjustment in Ju

Japan Raises Rates, Tightening the Global Market’s “Low-Rate Liquidity Faucet”
The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 1.25%, the highest level in approximately 31 years. More notably, this was not merely a symbolic move, coming just three months after the June rate hike. The BOJ passed the decision by a 7-2 vote, continuing to advance monetary policy normalization.
Why should global investors pay attention to Japan?
Because for a long time, Japan’s low-interest-rate environment made the yen an important source of funding for the global financial system. Funds were borrowed in low-cost yen

Watched the chart for ages, and the longer I looked, the less I dared to chase longs. In the end, it proved that staying out was the right call. When I checked the chart after lunch, the lack of buying support was obvious, and volume hadn't followed through either. I flagged resistance at the highs, so shorts could be tried in batches.

Close 80% of the bulk position first, protect the remaining 20% at breakeven, and move the stop loss closer to the entry price. D

Yes, this is exactly how I lost everything and went bankrupt on February 5 at the beginning of the year.
Last month, I suffered a $10,000 drawdown trading altcoins. After getting out, I also ended up losing all the profits I had made from U.S. stocks because of this.
Maybe I’m just destined not to make any money this year.😭

The market plunged hard on September 16,
but everything has risen back today.
It seems the market still does not believe the Fed will raise rates by only 25 basis points. If it goes with 50,
the market should become even more volatile.
The next rate hike should come before the end of the year,
and it will be 25 basis points or more.
In any case, the market has not bottomed yet,
because we are now facing a wave of rate hikes,
making it difficult to enter a bull market again,
unless there are substantial rate cuts and balance sheet expansion!

The U.S. AI-stock rebound became much more interesting when the price move was placed beside the volume and volatility data. On September 17, the Nasdaq surged 1.69%, the S&P 500 gained 1.14%, and the Dow added 0.62%. At the same time, the VIX dropped to 15.44, from 17.71 the previous session, while the 10-year Treasury yield eased to around 4.93% and oil prices declined. That combination created a clear risk-on shift: technology stocks recovered while bond-market and volatility pressure temporarily eased.

First comes destiny, second comes luck, and third comes feng shui. People don’t actually need to work too hard; they only need to work a little harder than most, and leave the rest to fate.
