The $4 Trillion Trade Almost Nobody Is Talking About π
For nearly 20 years, Japan kept interest rates at 0%. That made borrowing yen almost free β and global investors noticed.
Borrow cheap in Japan. Invest in higher-yielding markets abroad. Pocket the difference.
This became known as the Yen Carry Trade β and it quietly fueled everything from US stocks to crypto, bonds, emerging markets, and private equity.
But now, everything is changing. Japan is finally seeing inflation, and the Bank of Japan is raising rates. That means the carry trade is starting to unwind β and when trillions of dollars start moving, markets everywhere feel it.
Does this mean a global crash is coming? Not necessarily. But it does raise the risk of serious market volatility.
