Weak Yen fuels an inflation crisis as the country imports nearly all energy at $93 oil, raising import costs further. The Bank of Japan meets June 15-16 and is expected to lift rates from 0.75% to 1.0%, directly triggering yen carry trade unwind impact on crypto markets as investors sell US stocks, Bitcoin, and AI holdings to repay yen loans. The Fed follows immediately under Kevin Warsh facing 3.8% inflation and hot jobs data, with markets now fully pricing year-end hikes that test 2026 liquidity.
