inflation reached 3% in October.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"1064\">Japan\u2019s new stimulus package is setting off sharp reactions across global markets, with the yen sliding to its weakest point against the US dollar since January 2025 and long-term bond yields rising to record levels.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"1064\">The cabinet approved a 21.3 trillion yen package on Friday, the largest since the COVID-19 period, and the announcement immediately shifted expectations in currency, bond, and crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"1064\">The scale of the support and the pressure on Japan\u2019s finances are now pushing investors to reconsider how they assess global risk, particularly as liquidity conditions evolve.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1083\">Economic reset<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1593\">The package focuses on easing price pressures, supporting growth, and strengthening defence and diplomatic capacity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1593\">Local government grants and energy subsidies form a key part of the plan, and households are expected to receive around 7,000 yen in benefits over three months.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1593\">The government also aims to lift defence spending to 2% of GDP by 2027.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1085\" data-end=\"1593\">The supplementary budget is expected to pass before the end of the year, although the ruling coalition currently holds only 231 of 465 Lower House seats.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"2010\">The support comes during a period of weakening growth.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"2010\">Japan\u2019s GDP fell 0.4% in the third quarter of 2025, equal to a 1.8% annualised contraction.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"2010\">Inflation has remained above the Bank of Japan\u2019s 2% target for 43 months and reached 3% in October 2025.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1595\" data-end=\"2010\">Policymakers expect the new measures to lift real GDP by 24 trillion yen and generate a total economic impact near 265 billion dollars.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2012\" data-end=\"2037\">Rising market pressure<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2039\" data-end=\"2590\">The fiscal boost has intensified concerns about long-term debt sustainability and market stress.<\/p>\n<p

data-end=\"2590\">Every 100-basis-point increase in yields raises annual government financing costs by about 2.8 trillion yen, which has drawn attention to the strain on public finances over time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOUA204FA0Q5A121C2000000\/\">Nikkei reports<\/a> lingering caution about the continued use of fiscal stimulus beyond emergencies, adding another layer to investor concerns.<\/p>\n<p>This debate has become more relevant as the yield curve shifts and Japan\u2019s borrowing costs rise.<\/p>\n<p>These movements are also important for the 20 trillion dollar yen-carry trade. Investors typically borrow yen at low rates and invest in higher-yielding markets overseas.<\/p>\n<p>A mix of higher yields and sudden currency moves can force unwinding.<\/p>\n<p>Historical data show a 0.55 correlation between yen-carry trade reversals and S&amp;P 500 declines, which adds another source of volatility.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3028\" data-end=\"3043\">Yen reaction<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3045\" data-end=\"3460\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/KobeissiLetter\/status\/1991752516443529299?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1991752516443529299%7Ctwgr%5Eedbb3591e82af73dfd9ea6b42b31abd7f0858523%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbeincrypto.com%2Fjapan-stimulus-yen-weakness-bitcoin-impact%2F\">yen dropped sharply<\/a> after the stimulus announcement, prompting speculation about future currency stability and the potential for intervention.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3045\" data-end=\"3460\">October exports rose 3.6% year on year, but the increase was not enough to ease concerns about broader economic pressure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3045\" data-end=\"3460\">The scale of fiscal support and the persistence of inflation have become central factors in how global markets interpret Japan\u2019s next steps.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3462\" data-end=\"3477\">Crypto shift<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"3479\" data-end=\"3963\">These conditions are feeding directly into crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3479\" data-end=\"3963\">A weaker yen tends to drive Japanese investors toward alternative assets, including Bitcoin, especially during periods of rising liquidity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3479\" data-end=\"3963\">Experts have noted that Japan\u2019s decision adds to a global environment that already includes potential US Federal Reserve easing, Treasury cash movements, and continued liquidity support from China.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3479\" data-end=\"3963\">Together, these factors are creating conditions that could lift crypto demand into 2026.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3965\" data-end=\"4277\">At the same time, higher long-term yields pose a risk.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3965\" data-end=\"4277\">If yen-carry trades unwind quickly, institutions may be forced to sell assets, including Bitcoin, to meet liquidity needs.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/japan-stimulus-shakes-global-markets-as-yen-sinks-and-crypto-demand-rises\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Japan\u2019s 40-year bond yield rose to 3.774% on Thursday.
