Summary:
- We all know the yen carry trade – folks borrow “cheap” yen (paying unnaturally low interest rates), invest in higher yielding terrain (ie. Australian dollar) and leverage the shit out of it.
- This doesn’t work when the yen rises – as it is now. I had assumed that most of the carry trade was “unwound” – but this article suggests the real fireworks could be ahead of us.
