The Bank of Japan raised interest rates for the second time this year, ending a decade-long era of stimulus measures and unwinding its bond-buying program.
The rate hike led to the unwinding of yen carry trades, causing the yen to appreciate and triggering a selloff in risk assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Leveraged investors faced margin calls, leading to forced selling of not only underperforming assets but also other holdings, broadening the market decline.
The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) surged, exacerbating the selloff as short-volatility bets unwound and added to the selling pressure.
Technology stocks were hit particularly hard, with the Nasdaq 100 experiencing its worst start to a month since 2008, driven by weak economic data and underwhelming corporate earnings.
- The Outcome: Real-Time Actionable Insights. Matrix provided a clear, actionable report with 5 possible trading strategies–all supported and auditable with real, verifiable sources–in minutes, saving hours of manual analysis.
