🚨 THE JAPANESE LIQUIDITY BOMB 🇯🇵💣
BofA is calling it: Japan might hike rates to 1.00% this April. We haven’t seen these levels since the mid-90s, and if you think it doesn’t matter, you’re missing the world’s biggest "cheap money" engine. 🌍💸
Why the Panic? 📉
Japan has been the global funding hub for decades.
The Carry Trade: People borrow yen for cheap to buy high-yield assets elsewhere.
The Unwind: When rates rise, that trade collapses—and it’s never a smooth ride. 🎢
History Rhymes 🏛️
1994: The "Great Bond Massacre" wiped out $1.5 trillion globally. 📉
1995: The Dollar collapsed against the Yen, forcing the BOJ to retreat.
Lesson: When Japan tightens into a fragile system, things break. 🧨
The Ripple Effect 🌊
Japan holds $1.2 trillion in U.S. Treasuries. If yields at home look good:
Money flows back to Japan 🇯🇵🏠
Global bond demand drops 📉
Funding gets tighter for everyone 🚫
This isn't just a rate hike; it’s a shift in the global financial plumbing. Markets are sleeping on this, but volatility is coming. ⚡️
Stay alert. Stay positioned. 🛡️💼 #Japan #NAP #Liquidations #CPIWatch #Squar2earn $BTC
