Japan's Bank of Japan (BOJ) is expected to raise interest rates toward 2%, ending its negative real rate policy and significantly narrowing the yield spread between Japan and the US. This shift threatens the profitability of the Yen-carry trade, which could lead to a global liquidity drain. The rate hikes may notably impact US equities, especially tech-heavy indexes like the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100. Investors are advised to consider Japanese financial, insurance, and trading stocks, which could outperform if Japan continues to raise rates.
The S&P 500 catalysts including Japan's Bank of Japan rate changes provide context for market activity.
