I noticed that the markets are holding quite steady today. The dollar to yen exchange rate has increased by just a fraction of a percent — about 0.3% to the level of 156 yen. Nothing extreme. Against this backdrop, Japanese bonds (30-year) also slightly increased, gaining about one basis point. The Nikkei 225 rose by 1.5% and stabilized around 49,700 points. In cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin gained 3.92% in the last 24 hours and is trading around $71,000. Overall, risky assets are not under pressure, and there is no selling pressure felt. The market is somehow balanced.
