Recently, the market feels like it’s been paused, with many people waiting on the sidelines, hesitant to make a move. Honestly, taking aggressive actions in times like this does carry significant risks.

It might be better to find a relatively stable approach for now—let your funds work for you and earn some interest, which is better than just waiting around. But more importantly, there’s a rather surreal situation in global monetary policy right now—the Fed’s rate cut expectations are growing, while the Bank of Japan is surprisingly looking to hike rates instead.

Think about it: these two major economies are taking completely opposite policy directions, and the dynamics behind this are truly fascinating. My perspective is, don’t rush in yet. Wait until Japan actually implements its rate hike; the market will definitely experience some volatility then. At that point, look for short-term bargain opportunities or consider increasing your position in batches at an appropriate level. This way, at least you’ll have a sense of control.
