AI Summary
The Bank of Japan raised its policy rate 25bp to 1.25%, a fully priced outcome that pushed USD/JPY from around 156.25 to roughly 156.70-156.80 in a classic buy-the-rumour, sell-the-fact move. The 7-2 vote is the key detail: two dissents signal the board is not unanimous that growth and inflation justify tightening, trimming the hawkish premium and keeping the yen carry trade intact, which supports risk assets funded in JPY including high-beta crypto. Guidance for further hikes and a projection that underlying inflation keeps climbing toward and through 2% into fiscal 2027 caps how far the yen can slide, so watch whether USD/JPY holds above 157 and how 10-year JGB yields react, since a sharper yield backup would revive unwind risk across BTC/ETH and NASDAQ.
As a Forex signal, watch whether it changes price action, volatility, or flows around JPY=X, BTC.
