In Thread: JPY
Hi Ashraf,

What is the fundamental reason (other than a funding currency for past decade) for JPY is so strong (stronger than USD) during risk aversion? Is it still b/c of near zero interest rate? So is USD.. There must be other reasons..

Thanks

Hi Ashraf,

No you did not. I now know you mentioned 1.27 in "more euro losses ahead" thread. I should've wrote my comments there.

Hi Ashraf,

In the Euro cross article, your target is 1.38. In your comments below , you also mentioned 1.27, is this the final target or a typo? THanks

Hi Ashraf,

As US is to finance several Trillions of dollars of debt, who is going to lend them with such a low yield? If no one lends them then the bond market & dollar suffers as long as yield/interest rate is lower than other currencies. But when the yield/interest rate rises greater than other currencies, the bond market still suffers but the dollar strengthens b/c of higher rates. Am I correct here? Isn't this what happened in the early 80's? Thanks!

Hi Ashraf,

On your twitter site, you mentioned US many not lose its AAA credit rating b/c it can print currency. Can you clarify why US can and other countries can't w/o losing its ratings. I understand that USD is the reserve currency but still will be inflationary... Thanks!
