The Yen Carry Trade Is Not Unwound and Should Concern Everyone

"...Knowing whatโ€™s left after the summer selloff is a challenge in part because no one is keeping track.

Thereโ€™s no trading floor or regulator. No one publishes a league table. Itโ€™s a strategy, not a product, so it largely defies precise measurement.

โ€œYou don't have to report your carry trade to anyone.

There's no lodging authority. In fact, it might be just simmering beneath, nobody knows,โ€ said Lawrence Loh, professor of strategy and policy, National University of Singapore...."

The BoJ now faces a dilemma: Do they protect the Yen with higher interest rates? Or protect the Japanese government bond market with lower rates.

They cannot do both.

Things could get dicey this week. The Fed just set up for another collision with the BOJ (Thursday evening U.S.). Oh, then there's Beijing...

This is all that matters to the #FED right now despite the market pretends to ignore it, whatever they do tomorrow rest assured they wonโ€™t allow $DXY to fall further because if they lose control of the inflation narrative they lose control of the long end of the curve, banks losses will expand further and it will be game over for the US economy

US NFP misses, $JPY moved ~2 big figures in a matter of SECONDS 😳

Whatโ€™s happening is beyond any tail risk scenario ever conceived in risk models and an amount of leverage of biblical size is attached to this specific currency

⚠️This is bad, very bad🙈

The Great Japanese Carry Trade Unwinding 2.0:

Catalysts for "Forced" Selling:

- Currency Risk.
- interest Rate Risk.
- Credit Risk.
- Liquidity Risk.

Lower highs is of real concern.

Falls away here, and it won't be pretty.

Powell summary:

Confirms Sept rate cut
Does not indicate whether 25bps or 50bps;
As such the August payrolls report will be critical

Mac10: "Last night, Ueda was hawkish saying more rate hikes are coming. And this morning Powell and the other Fed members were ultra dovish saying rate cuts are coming."

Perfect conditions for the biggest crash in history.

JDario: "A kind reminder to all those currently cheering at Jerome Burns words" 👇🏻

🚩If JPY > ~162 vs USD = Japan economy collapses
🚩If JPY < ~145 vs USD = JPY Carry Trades hours of cards collapses

BOJ - Now that the JPY is back above 149 what are you going to do? Let the Nikkei enjoy a monster rally, OR intervene again to make the JPY stronger to slow down Japan's inevitable mutation into Japanezuela?

I sense another "event" is coming.

The BOJ is now trapped.
The Fed is also now trapped.

I've seen your charts on Bitcoin too. While I have mixed feelings on bitcoin, I must say you have some of the best-looking charts on ihub. Very well-prepared. That takes skill. Much better than my charts.

For viewing purposes, I do like the 3-month UDSPY chart.

BOJ is getting close to ending yield curve control. And with them having drawn a line in the sand at 150 via several currency interventions, I don't see much upside for the pair.
