Bank of Japan Raises Interest Rates to 0.75% — As Forecasted

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) has officially increased its key interest rate from 0.50% to 0.75%, matching market expectations.

🔹 This marks another step away from Japan’s long-era ultra-loose monetary policy

🔹 Aims to control inflation while stabilizing the yen

🔹 Markets largely priced this move in, so volatility may remain limited short-term

📊 Why it matters for crypto & global markets:

• Stronger yen can impact USD pairs

• Risk assets may react if further hikes are signaled

• Watch BOJ forward guidance closely — that’s where the real market move could come

👀 What’s next?

If inflation stays sticky, more gradual hikes could be on the table in 2025.

💬 Do you think this will strengthen JPY long-term or slow Japan’s growth?
