## Prediction

Within 30 days, the BOJ’s rate hike and commitment to sustained tightening will drive a structural repricing of global funding costs, as the era of ultra-cheap yen fades and investors demand higher returns across sovereign and corporate debt. EM and developed-market borrowers that relied on yen or low-rate arbitrage will face higher spreads, pressuring refinancing plans and potentially triggering stress among over-leveraged corporates and shadow banking channels. Risk assets will experience episodes of volatility as portfolios rebalance toward safer or higher-yielding instruments. Confirmation would be persistently stronger JPY, wider credit spreads, and reduced issuance in riskier segments; denial would be a BOJ backtrack or global central bank easing that offsets the impact.

## Drivers

- BOJ raising overnight rate to 1%, highest since 1995
- Signals of sustained tightening and inflation risk
- Threats to crowded yen carry trades highlighted in multiple alerts
- Global bond markets already rattled by initial announcement
