Carry Trade Towel

Watch FXY. It led to the “calamitous reversal” we experienced yesterday. Early on, the Yen was lower, allowing the “risk trade” to thrive. However, it appears the Yen is rallying again, which in turn is giving people a reason to sell.

I’m not saying this is a fucking rolling disaster heading straight for your home. But, with GS getting nailed too, it’s definitely worth monitoring.

    I think this is a re-run. Isn’t this the episode where Blankfien & Co. gun the futures at the open, then spend the next few hours distributing to the bagholders before they pull the rug out from under them?

      At 1 p.m. ET we have the 30-year bond auction. Last month it was weak, with the bid-to-cover the lowest of 2010 at 2.60. Yield was 4.490%, with direct bidders at 22% and indirect bidders at a weak 33%, taking down 55% of the auction.

    Hey, wouldn’t it be really, really wierd if the market gave back all it’s gains today, like it did yesterday? Wouldn’t that be just too funny? I mean, how often does that happen?

    Off to my lunch at Burger King.

      Sorry, not “black”, but “bleak” Friday, it helps if one reads English correctly. I apologize.
