Yen carry trade is more important than all of this. 20 Trillion +
One of the most popular trades in foreign-exchange markets is losing its luster as the Bank of Japan signals the end of its negative interest rate policy.
The appeal of using borrowed yen to buy securities denominated in higher-yielding currencies, known as a carry trade, is in flux after remarks this week from the BOJ’s Hajime Takata hinted at a potential policy change. That’s giving pause to money managers, especially now that leveraged funds have boosted their bets against the yen.
Understand the inter relationships
Yen crashed Sunday
