The Japan Carry Trade at Risk and what that means for MAG7 borrowing
To prop up the Yen, Japan (the world's largest holder of U.S. Treasuries) might need to sell its U.S. Treasuries
If Japan dumps U.S. Treasuries into the market, it would drive bond yields up significantly, making U.S. refinancing much more expensive
This could put a damper on companies like $GOOGL and $AMZN Amazon who are looking to borrow hundreds of billions to build out AI infrastructure.
If the Bank of Japan is forced to aggressively raise rates to defend the Yen, it would break the carry trade
