Japan’s US$4 tril ‘carry trade’ begins to slowly unwind

By Ruth Carson, Masaki Kondo & Winnie Hsu

US$4.4 trillion (RM18.3 trillion) invested abroad, an amount larger than India’s economy.

It’s going to be one of the mega trends and it is a super cycle for the next five to 10 years.

“There will be a sustained, gradual but massive flow of capital back into Japan from abroad.”

Yields on the benchmark 30-year Japanese government bonds have risen about 40 basis points to above 2%.

Japan’s investors are the largest foreign holders of US government bonds and own almost 10% of Australia’s debt. They also control hundreds of billions of dollars worth of stocks from Singapore to the Netherlands and the US, owning anywhere between 1% and 2% of the markets.

Their reach extends to high risk investments such as cryptocurrencies and risky debt that blew up in Europe.

Don’t Rush to Invest in the Japanese Yen

by Brett Eversole

Sentiment toward the yen was hugely negative last year. But the currency has jumped in value since then. And that means lately, futures traders have been extremely bullish.

When traders are all betting on a higher yen, the currency tends to fall. And in these cases, we usually see a quick decline of around 10%.

Futures traders are far too bullish right now. And that makes a quick, double-digit decline likely.
