 So what’s the Tl;dr of what’s happening in Japan? 
 Increased interest rate from 0 to 0.25% 
 Lol 
 Such a rookie mistake 
 We still have fish, weather is shit (hot and humid), life goes on 🐶🐾🤣

 It all vanished in a flash  
 the world is addicted to debt

japan was the cheapest and most stable lender

the world borrowed 20 trillion in USD to buy STONKS, treasuries, CRE

japanese yen gained 5%+ in a few days, buffet sold AAPL, the US soft landing narrative collapsed

the world is being margin called and the music has stopped 
 They got roasted  
 Probably fears of recession panic sell into cash fueled by appreciating yen 
 Thank you! I was wondering the same...

 Thay are craving for inflation 
 apparently interest rates were so low in Japan, everyone was borrowing billions in yen to buy stocks, basically free money. Then yen went up, and the money wasn’t free, had to sell everything to pay the debt.  
 unwinding carry trades. must sell off assets and pay back borrowed yen. 
 He who says doesn't know, and who knows doesn't say.  
 boom! 
 Overall economy (not just the government, but especially the government) has waaaaaay too much debt
