The Yen Carry Trade
The yen carry trade is one of the most important — and least discussed — forces in global markets.
In this episode, we break down how borrowing cheap Japanese yen has quietly fuelled global risk-taking for decades, why Japan became the world’s funding currency, and where that money actually flows. We then dive into what’s changed recently: political shifts under Japan’s new government, rising equity and FX volatility, Bank of Japan intervention risks, and why even rumours of policy change are enough to rattle markets. This isn’t just a Japan story — it’s a global liquidity story.
