“Also very much in focus is the size of the yen carry trade and whether a further unwind needs to drive USD/JPY sub 140 and spark more cross-market volatility. We expressed our views on this issue last Friday.”
“We suspect that the top layer of carry – speculators in yen futures markets – may be close to flat in their positions now. As to the deeper layer of the yen carry, we think it is very hard to tell. We would take any definitive declarations of the yen carry trade being 50% or 75% unwound with a pinch of salt.”
