In fairness to the BOJ, the hyperliquidity created by the BOJ may have fueled the crackup boom elsewhere in the world, but not at home. The BOJ of course conducts monetary policy in response to the domestic situation first and foremost. I'd say that their "slow motion" approach is well justified so far. Let's see if they pick up the pace going forward.

On reason why global CBS seem asleep at the switch is that we still are for the most part in the virtuous phase of the inflation cycle. Most asset holders have been enriched far more by asset inflation than they have been hurt by goods and services inflation

But watch out below when asset inflation gives way to huge price rises for life's necessities -- a metamorphisis that may be very close now.
