Japan raised interest rates. What does this prove once again? It proves that we ordinary people really don’t need to care too much about all kinds of news. Interest rate hikes, rate cuts, CPI, unemployment rates, insider info—whatever. When it all plays out on the market, it doesn’t make much of a difference. What’s meant to rise will rise, what’s meant to fall will fall. Those market participants who stare at every piece of news every day thinking they’ve grasped the pulse of the market, and those dreamers who analyze all kinds of news thinking it’ll guide their trades— Wake up, friends. Only a very small number of truly important pieces of news are worth the effort to analyze, but those are often deeply hidden.
