Japan's rate policy isn't exactly bullish news. Think longer term. Yen carry trades have been feeding global liquidity for years. Now rates are climbing back to 2008 levels—that's a red flag, not a victory lap.
Here's what happens next: rates peak and start rolling over. That's when the final push kicks in. Equities? Risk assets? They'll catch one last bid as liquidity floods back in. But don't mistake the sugar rush for sustainable momentum.
This isn't a rally you want to overstay.

The issue with the yen, the repeatedly discussed idea, is essentially a liquidity game... In the end, there probably aren't many people who can catch the last wave of dividends.

The logical loophole of yen Arbitrage should have been pointed out long ago. The danger signal of Liquidity exhaustion is treated as a celebration, just like a contract that went live without an overflow check.

Wow, the yen Arbitrage really gets overlooked... the real fear is the Liquidity being drained.
Wait, is everyone missing something here?
