Nikkei 225: A gradual interest rate hike stance by BoJ maintains the bullish trend
Japan’s Nikkei 225 remains resilient after the Bank of Japan’s 25bp rate hike to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years.

Technical indicators point to a minor bullish reversal, suggesting the Nikkei’s broader uptrend remains intact despite policy normalization.

This divergence creates asymmetric upside risk for the US Dollar (DXY) and a dual bullish catalyst for Gold (XAU/USD) regardless of the outcome.
