🔥 Japan just delivered a holiday bombshell to global liquidity.
For decades, Japan fueled the world with:
❄️ Ultra-low (even negative) rates
💴 Dirt-cheap yen borrowing
♾️ Infinite carry trade fuel
That chapter is closing fast.
BOJ Governor Ueda dropped clear signals on Dec 25 👇
➡️ Wages accelerating broadly
➡️ Underlying inflation steadily nearing 2%
➡️ Real rates still "very low"
➡️ MORE RATE HIKES AHEAD in 2026
💥 Bottom line: "Cheap money from Japan? Done."
Markets reacted instantly 🧊
💣 Yen strengthened
🏦 Carry positions under pressure
📉 Global bonds & risk assets feeling the squeeze
This is a full REGIME CHANGE ⚠️
📉 Yields rising, leverage hurting
📉 Valuations under scrutiny
📈 VIX waking up from coma
🚨 Crypto heads up:
Carry unwinds hit risk assets HARD—temporary bleed often precedes the next leg up.
Liquidity isn't endless anymore.
Cycles turning.
Spot it early... or pay later.
Stay sharp 👀🗡️
