When a currency reaches historically weak levels, central banks may intervene by buying their own currency and selling foreign currencies to strengthen it, which can trigger the unwind of carry trade positions where investors borrow in low-interest currencies to invest in higher-yielding assets elsewhere.

It Just Happened- Dollar Falls as Bank of Japan Stages Emergency Currency Intervention on the YenAdded:
Japan has trillions of dollars invested in the United States, in our stock market, in our treasuries, in real estate. I did a show yesterday, I'll link it in the pinned comment below, where I said, and nobody else is picking up on this, be careful, the yen had gotten to its weakest point against the dollar in many years, and that was going to potentially force the Japanese government and their bank to intervene in the currency. So, that's exactly what happened today. Here's the story out of Reuters. Japan's yen surged by as much as 3% on Thursday, the most in a day in over 3 years. The Japanese government and the Bank of Japan carried out a currency intervention on April 30th by buying yen and selling dollars. And the dollar was on track for its biggest one-day drop since December 2022.
Go check out the video. This is very scary. If it continues, the this could be the trigger point for the yen carry unwind. I explained it all in the video.
I'll also leave a link to my monthly newsletter. Get on board, that's what we that's the stuff we do there. Thanks.
