Why Rabobank's Every Is Bearish on Japan

The video discusses Japan's recent economic growth, highlighting a 4% increase in the second quarter, driven mainly by household spending in June. Despite six consecutive quarters of growth, concerns remain about the sustainability of this trend due to low wage growth and potential global influences. The Bank of Japan's (BOJ) policies, which were once considered extreme, are now seen as contributing to a moderate economic uptick. However, the video raises questions about the long-term impact of these policies and the potential political ramifications if the BOJ decides to change its course.
