⚠️ Market Perspective
It’s becoming increasingly likely that the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates. A significant portion of Bitcoin liquidity over the years has come from cheap yen funding, and as rates rise, some of that capital is expected to gradually exit the crypto market.
At this stage, capital preservation matters more than chasing returns. Early warning signs of economic stress are already emerging. High-beta sectors like tech and AI stocks carry elevated risk in this environment.
A more defensive approach makes sense:
• Hold cash or short-term government bonds
• Focus on daily necessities and FMCG stocks
Regardless of the market cycle, people still need the basics — food, water, personal care, and everyday consumables.
If you look closely, foreign capital has been steadily positioning itself in domestic FMCG and essentials markets. A simple visit to any supermarket shows many major brands already backed by strong overseas investors.
These businesses are built to survive cycles: they benefit from pricing power during monetary easing and remain stable during tightening, delivering consistent cash flow over time 📊
