Everyday is a new opportunity to reinvent yourself
🚨 JAPAN JUST DID THE IMPOSSIBLE The Bank of Japan just raised rates to 1.25%. The highest since 1995. And the yen FELL. Now ask yourself one question: WHY CAN’T JAPAN JUST KEEP HIKING UNTIL THE YEN RECOVERS? For years, the BOJ kept rates near zero or NEGATIVE to fight deflation. Japan built its entire financial system around almost FREE MONEY. Japanese investors could borrow yen cheaply and buy higher-yielding assets overseas. That became the famous YEN CARRY TRADE. But there was a cost: 1) Negative rates crushed bank margins. 2) Massive BOJ bond buying distorted the government bond market. And years of cheap money left Japan extremely sensitive to higher rates. And this is where the trap appears. Japan’s government debt pile is enormous. As rates rise, old cheap debt eventually gets refinanced at higher rates. Japan’s government interest bill has already gone from roughly: ¥8.5T in 2023 → ¥13T in 2026 And that is BEFORE Japan gets anywhere close to U.S. rates. Today: - Japan: 1.25% - U.S.: 3.75%-4.00% The carry trade is still alive. Dollars still pay far more than yen. To really close that gap, Japan would have to tighten MUCH harder. But aggressive hikes would hit: → Government borrowing costs → Corporate borrowing → Mortgages → Bond prices → Economic growth That is why Japan cannot simply keep smashing rates higher. And that is why today’s hike wasn’t enough to save the yen. The market understood something retail didn’t: 1.25% IS STILL CHEAP MONEY. The rate gap is still huge. And the BOJ gave no signal that it is prepared to close that gap aggressively. So Japan faces an ugly choice: Raise rates fast and put enormous pressure on the system built around cheap money. Or normalize slowly and tolerate a weaker yen for longer. Right now, the market is betting on the second option. And a weak yen has its own cost. Japan imports huge amounts of energy and raw materials. A weaker currency makes those imports more expensive and pushes inflation higher. But it also helps exporters and increases the yen value of overseas profits. Japan doesn’t necessarily WANT a weak yen. It is tolerating one because aggressively defending it could be even more painful. Remember, I’ve been trading markets for over 15 years. The biggest opportunities come when central banks get trapped between two bad choices. That’s exactly what I’m watching now. When I see where the money moves next, I’ll post it here publicly like I always do. Turn notifications on. If you’re not following yet, you’ll understand why that was a mistake later.
