Bank of Japan Interest Rate Hike: The Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 0.75%, the highest level in three decades, with expectations of further increases due to persistent inflation and a weaker yen.
Market Reactions and Economic Context: Japanese government bond yields rose, and the BOJ's current policy rate remains below the estimated neutral rate of 1% to 2.5%, indicating a shift from decades of deflationary pressure.
Investment Strategies Amid Rate Changes: Investors are advised to consider inverse yen ETFs and value-based ETFs, as rising rates in Japan may favor value stocks over growth stocks.
Political Influence on Monetary Policy: Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's support for monetary easing raises questions about the BOJ's independence, but ongoing inflation pressures suggest a continued path of rate increases.
