On the morning of December 19th, the Bank of Japan announced a 25 basis point rate hike, raising the benchmark interest rate from 0.5% to 0.75%. This figure carries some weight—it’s the highest interest rate Japan has seen in 30 years and also marks the Bank of Japan’s return to tightening since January of this year.

An interesting phenomenon followed. Many influential social media figures and so-called experts previously warned loudly, saying "Japan’s rate hike will trigger a financial collapse."

Here they go again, these big V influencers are shouting wolf every day. Japan's 0.75% rate caused a collapse? Then the Federal Reserve should have blown up into pieces long ago.
