BOJ raises rates to 1.25%, highest since 1995, to curb inflation

The Bank of Japan raised its target rate from 1% to 1.25%, the highest since 1995, citing high global inflation linked to the war in Iran. This follows similar tightening by the US Federal Reserve and ECB, marking a continued global monetary policy shift. The move signals a decisive break from Japan's long-standing ultra-loose policy, with implications for yen strength and global bond yields.
