It’s all about the Yen carry trade.
In short:
1. Asset management firms were borrowing Japanese yen for super cheap and investing the borrowed money in money markets or global stocks.
2. Japanese central bank rates have remained low for almost 20 years, and even negative for much of the last 10. So basically you borrow money for free, invest it for a 5%+ profit elsewhere and pocket the difference. Amazing
3. But last ...
Just yesterday, S&P500 and Nasdaq fell close to 3% each - which is a very rare scene.
Many are calling for Fed to do an emergency rate cut, but this kind of intervention is usually reserved for a crisis.
Are the fear for recession too pre-matured?
Do you think yesterday’s sell off was just a false alarm?
