Morning Bros..
Fleccy Respect..
My friend was telling me about this...
Borrow at 0% from Japan , change currency and invest at 4% in say Uk.. What go wrong? Surely this carry trade is money for nothing?
If Yen strengthens big problem as the asset ( sum invested)may struggle to pay back the liability.
BOJ increasing rates to protect Yen, which some say 40% undervalued. Big risks here with huge amounts of money..
It is reported a lot of the borrowed money gone into US tech stocks...
So as this unwind?
