Japón sube tasas a máximo de 31 años; Fed y BoE divididas por energía
  • **TITULAR PRINCIPAL**: Japón sube tasas a máximo de 31 años; Fed y BoE divididas por energía

  • **RESUMEN**:
  • La jornada estuvo marcada por la política monetaria global. Japón elevó su tasa de interés a un máximo de 31 años para contener la inflación impulsada por la energía, mientras el Banco de Inglaterra mantuvo tasas por sexta vez consecutiva pero advirtió que un alza futura es probable si los precios energéticos siguen altos. En EE.UU., la Reserva Federal subió 0.25% desafiando al presidente Trump, que pedía recortes, y los rendimientos de bonos al alza ya impactan hipotecas y créditos empresariales.


    En el frente comercial, el Reino Unido busca integrarse al programa "Made in Europe" para profundizar lazos con la UE en lugar de erigir barreras, mientras Bruselas respalda una "membresía asociada" para Canadá, propuesta que Trump amenaza con represalias comerciales. En vivienda, la proporción de hipotecas británicas con depósitos reducidos es la más alta desde 2008, reflejando mayor riesgo asumido por los compradores.


    El sector cripto operó con cautela: Bitcoin rondó los 76.500 dólares tras la subida de tasas de la Fed, mientras las tesorerías corporativas de BTC acumularon solo 5.900 BTC en tres meses y mantienen pérdidas no realizadas. Chainalysis reportó un aumento del 420% en malware onchain vinculado a hackers estatales, y EE.UU. sancionó al exchange iraní BitBank por procesar pagos en Bitcoin para el IRGC.


    En tecnología y empresas, Snapchat se mostró abierto a imponer límites de tiempo a adolescentes, y Revolut negó contacto directo de hackers pese a demandas de rescate por 3 millones en Monero y 10.000 BTC.


  • **DATOS CLAVE**:
  • Japón: tasa de interés en máximo de 31 años para frenar inflación energética.
  • Banco de Inglaterra: sexta pausa consecutiva, pero sesgo hacia un alza futura.
  • Fed: +0.25%, primer aumento desde julio de 2023, pese a oposición de Trump.
  • Bitcoin: ~76.500 USD tras la decisión de la Fed; tesorerías corporativas compraron solo 5.900 BTC en 3 meses.
  • Malware onchain: +420% según Chainalysis, con infraestructura en Tron, Aptos y BNB Chain.

  • **TONO DEL MERCADO**: Neutral con sesgo bajista: tasas al alza y energía cara presionan activos de riesgo, mientras cripto y bolsas muestran rebotes técnicos frágiles.
