Japanese yen strengthens amid rising bets on Bank of Japan rate hike, risking global market volatility.

The Japanese yen has recently strengthened significantly as investors increase expectations for a Bank of Japan (BOJ) interest rate hike. This shift is unsettling global foreign exchange and risk asset markets, although equity markets have so far remained calm. Historically, yen strength often leads to spikes in market volatility, and further gains in the yen could quickly increase volatility and correlations among assets. A faster-than-expected BOJ rate hike could trigger a sharp risk-off event, while a dovish BOJ stance might stabilize both the yen and global markets.
