🇯🇵 Nikkei Pullback Signals Bigger Move? BOJ Turns Hawkish

Japan’s market just sent a warning ⚠️

The Nikkei 225 Index slipped from record highs as the Bank of Japan held rates—but turned unexpectedly hawkish.

📊 Key Moves:

• Nikkei -0.8% after ATH

• JGB 10Y yield near 29-year highs (2.48%)

• Yen strengthens to 159

• 3 BOJ members pushed for rate hikes 👀

💡 What’s Driving It? Markets are now pricing in a potential June rate hike as inflation risks rise (Middle East tensions adding fuel).

Heavyweights like Advantest and SoftBank Group led the drop after a strong rally—classic profit-taking + macro shift.

🔥 Market Insight: This isn’t just a dip—it’s a sentiment shift.

If BOJ tightens, global liquidity could take a hit.

👀 Watch closely:

• Yen strength

• Bond yields

• Tech-heavy Nikkei reaction
