Draining The Swamp- Don’t Forget AUDJPY

Draining The Swamp- Don’t Forget AUDJPY

by MoleSeptember 1, 2011

Well I should have had a bigger short. That is irrelevant now.

Apparently this still works. I should have had a more aggressive short, but I was betting on September, not August. Life goes on.

Now on to some new thoughts. Lets take a serious look into the AUDJPY. The subs get the goods, but I will give some fundamental treats for the leaches.

I know fundamentals are useless, but they help one to make sure things are a bubble or not. The carry trade is real, and for good reason. Or as long as there is free arbitrage for banks to borrow US$ and buy AUD bonds, the game may continue. (remember the bond market is the only thing even remotely close to the FX market in size- stocks are a puppet)

Aussie vs dollar carry is nuts. Thanks Ben.

Aussie Yen carry is nuts. Thanks Ben and JCB.

Just saying, as long as we keep real rates (yield curve- inflation) low in the US. The carry may continue.

Now on to the sentiment juice.

Sorry only for the rats, this is proprietary stuff, and to my knowledge I am the only one who has these two metrics (or at least did the simple math).

Clearly money is dumping the carry, and historically this has been bullish AUDJPY.

Best of luck trading,
