The yen has crashed to its worst week in months, pushing the exchange rate dange
Created
Thesis
The yen has crashed to its worst week in months, pushing the exchange rate dangerously close to the 165 level. Japan's finance minister just warned they are ready to take 'decisive action' in currency markets, which historically means a surprise direct intervention to buy yen and crush the dollar. Meanwhile, major US banks are flexing their financial strength with big dividend hikes, which underscores the massive interest rate gap between the US and Japan that drove this trade in the first place. When a central bank verbally warns the market and the currency is stretched to extreme weekly lows, it creates an asymmetric setup to bet on a sudden yen bounce as traders lock in profits before the government steps in.
