🌋 Japan’s Debt Volcano Is Erupting! 🔥
Japan — the quiet, disciplined economic powerhouse — is feeling the heat like never before.
💣 Debt Overload: $10+ TRILLION in government debt and climbing
📈 Yields Surge: 10-year JGBs hitting 2.1% — multi-decade highs not seen since the late ’90s
🏦 BOJ Pressure: More rate hikes signaled, no emergency brakes yet
For decades, Japan pulled off the impossible: near-zero rates + massive QE = cheap funding for the world’s biggest debt pile.
Now? That magic is breaking ⛓️💥
Yields spike → interest payments balloon → budgets crushed
Tax money flows into debt service instead of growth or social programs
The scary choices ahead:
❌ Default (unlikely, but extreme)
🔄 Debt restructuring / monetization
🔥 Hyperinflation as the escape valve
🌍 Global Shockwaves:
When Japan wobbles, carry trades unwind, the yen swings, bonds freak out, equities shiver. This isn’t just Tokyo’s problem — it’s a worldwide stress test.
Tick-tock ⏳ — 2026 is shaping up for fireworks.
