Hawkish BOJ risks at multi‑decade highs – DBS

DBS Group Research’s Philip Wee warns that caution is warranted on USD/JPY as the pair trades near the 159–160 resistance zone after Operation Epic Fury. He expects the Bank of Japan to deliver a hawkish hold on March 19, distinguishing temporary supply-led inflation from demand-pull pressures. A successful Trump–Xi summit could de-escalate Iran tensions, cool Oil prices and undermine the current USD/JPY floor.

BOJ normalization risk at key resistance

“Caution is warranted with USD/JPY at the year’s high after Operation Epic Fury, as the pair tests the psychologically significant 159-160 resistance zone amid a dense “geopolitical cloud.” While the flight to safety and surging energy costs have favoured the USD over the JPY, the Bank of Japan is expected to deliver a hawkish hold at its March 19 meeting to maintain its path of interest rate normalization.”

“By distinguishing between temporary supply-led inflation driven by the Strait of Hormuz chokepoint and the sustainable demand-pull inflation signalled by robust Shunto wage increases, BOJ Governor Kazuo Ueda may also be waiting for a potential diplomatic off-ramp on Iran during US President Donald Trump’s visit to China on March 31-April 2.”

“If the Trump-Xi summit successfully de-escalates the Iran conflict and cools oil prices, the current fundamental floor for USD/JPY could give way, making any aggressive long positions at these multi-decade highs particularly vulnerable to both a shift in sentiment and the ever-present threat of Japanese Ministry of Finance intervention.”

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise

The post Solana Treasury Firm Holdings Could Double as Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Raise appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering to expand its SOL holdings. The company’s stock (FORD) fell 8.2% following the announcement, while the proceeds could more than double the $3.1 billion currently held in Solana treasuries. DeFi Development Corp. also registered a preferred stock offering with the SEC, following similar funding tactics used by Bitcoin treasury companies like MicroStrategy. Forward Industries, the newest and largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed to raise $4 billion through an at-the-market equity offering. For the sake of comparison, this $4 billion raise is nearly the same size as Bitcoin treasury Strategy’s Stride preferred stock raise in July. And it’s double the size of the Strife preferred stock offering the company did in May. The proceeds would be used for working capital; pursuit of its Solana token strategy, and “the purchase of income-generating assets to grow its business,” the company said in a press release. Forward Industries declined to comment to Decrypt on what other income-generating assets it’s considering adding to its balance sheet.  As markets opened Wednesday morning, Forward saw its stock price take a dive. The shares, which trade under the FORD ticker on the Nasdaq, dipped to $31.29 before rebounding to $34.28 at the time of writing—marking a 8.2% fall for the session. If the company sells all the shares and spends the bulk of the proceeds on buying Solana, it could more than double the amount of SOL being held in treasuries. At the time of writing, there’s already $3.1 billion in Solana treasuries, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko. Users on Myriad, a prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company DASTAN, have been growing more confident that SOL will reach $250 sooner than…
