Japan’s core inflation hits highest level since January 2023, putting pressure on BOJ to raise rates
Japan’s core inflation rate climbed to 3.7% in May, marking its highest level since January 2023 and putting more pressure on the Bank of Japan to raise rates to combat inflation.
So more "good news" for markets? Seems like the "carry trade" might be back in focus again soon? Funny thing is I can't decide what is going to send us over the cliff first. We have even "conveniently" forgotten about the Ukraine War where it now appears Putin has won the proxy war and beaten us.
It seems we are giving the old saying "death by a thousand cuts" a whole new meaning? Still all "new" bull markets start this way right? Or is it all crashes start this way?:
