Members will recall that one critical component of our oil/gas decline scenario is USDJPY’s breakout from the falling channel from 2017 shown below. Guess what?
The yen carry trade is a tried and true method of goading the algos into buying equities – even overpriced ones. It works especially well as a counterweight to falling oil/gas prices as we first observed in 2015 [see: Did TPTB Crash Oil?]
So, it’s absolutely no surprise to see central banks pull it out of the playbook at a time when folks are suddenly curious about hidden, systemic risks and oil/gas prices are in the midst of a healthy reset.
