Japan yen, JGBs, inflation, and crypto-liquidity volatility

Tokyo’s October inflation was 2.6% excluding fresh food and 2.8% overall, while national persistence and the BOJ decision remain key. Japan’s finance minister has warned against disorderly yen moves; the reported $643.3 million October 30 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF outflow and a later $6.7 million FBTC inflow illustrate why isolated flows and seasonal narratives are not durable demand signals. U.S. election uncertainty and jobs data remain near-term catalysts.
