Last night, the Bank of Japan announced an interest rate hike to 0.75%. The market originally expected a rebound, but the outcome turned out to be quite different. Ueda Kazuo's remarks revealed a reserved attitude towards policy—"real interest rates are still low" and "it won't meet the target until 2027". What signal did this statement inadvertently convey to the market? Clearly, it lacks a clear plan for subsequent actions.
Wall Street has a keen sense. The hesitation of the Bank of Japan has become the best opportunity to short the yen. The USD/JPY surged past the 157 level, and the carry trade, this long-dormant "old knife," is drawn again. Carry traders borrow yen for financing and then go long on dollar assets—this move is particularly favored because of the low yen interest rates, resulting in extremely low financing costs and a huge spread.
The finance department may be making noise, but intervention measures have yet to be seen. Just as the Christmas holiday brings light trading and the market is loosely defended, this has become the "night raid" golden period for bears. The options volatility has skyrocketed, indicating that the market is preparing for more aggressive fluctuations.
This time it is not just a simple interest rate hike, but Japan is laying its cards on the table to the market—there is still room for policy retreat, and the central bank is still hesitant. Once the 2% defense line is breached, non-U.S. currencies will face not just adjustment, but systemic risks. The U.S. dollar will strengthen further, exerting tremendous pressure on global liquidity, and the cryptocurrency market, as a high-risk asset, will similarly be unable to escape this wave of impact. Tokyo's final struggle is determining the global flow of capital.
