This sentiment boost lifted tech and bank sectors, while oil prices tumbled.

The Bank of Japan is expected to raise its policy rate from 0.75% to 1.0% in June, marking the highest level in 30 years. This hike aims to address core inflation exceeding 2.8%. However, analysts warn that higher borrowing costs and a strengthening yen could trigger a bear market for Japanese stocks, particularly impacting multinational exporters like Toyota and Sony amidst signs of market overheating.

- The Bank of Japan is set to increase interest rates from 0.75% to 1.0% during its meeting on June 15-16, marking the first hike in 30 years.  
- This decision comes in response to rising domestic inflation, reported at 2.8%, driven by global factors such as the Middle East conflict.  
- While a stronger yen may benefit import-reliant sectors, major corporations like Toyota and Sony could face significant losses, potentially leading to a bear market for Japanese stocks.
