What was I doing? voice-verified

Have a think and I'll give you the answer at the end of the show. voice-verified

Now, the US Treasury has just invested into the Japanese yen as it continues to fall in value, prompting investors to sit up and take notice. voice-verified

Speculation is ripe around the world what the US Treasury's motivation for the sudden investment is doing. voice-verified

And joining me now to try and shed some light on this is Alan Dunn, founder and CEO of Archive Capital. voice-verified

First off, Alan, I think it's important to take a look at the man behind this. voice-verified

Move. voice-verified

Scott Bessent, he's sixty-three, his dad was a real estate developer, he was a partner at the Sorrows Fund Management that bet against the pound in ninety two and made a billion pounds with George Soros himself, and then bet against the yen in twenty thirteen when the fund made one point two billion. voice-verified

What do you think his background is doing to influence the decision making that he's engaged in now? voice-verified

At this stage. voice-verified

Well, I watched his interview with CNBC during the week and what he pointed out the motivation was was number one, he said President Trump has a great relationship with the current Prime Minister Takaichi. voice-verified

Secondly, when pushed on the two hundred and thirty percent debt to GDP ratio, he said, yes, but much of that is held by the Japanese people and pensions voice-verified

And then he also pointed out that he knows Japan well, he's been over there about fifty ish times, and then said that he feels the Asian crisis was triggered by the end, so there is a global responsibility to intervene. voice-verified

What do you take from that? voice-verified

And I get where you're coming from on the perspective of the currency, but Japan is also the greatest holder of US treasuries outside of the US itself. voice-verified

Is there a connection there as well about the concern that if Japan was to dump some of their tr treasuries, particularly in an environment of a steepening yield curve, that that could trigger a much bigger problem for Trump investment? voice-verified

Well, the plot also thickens by virtue of the fact that Scott Besson chose to sell Euros in order to, as he says on the hat to do list, to buy five or ten bill of Japanese yen. voice-verified

I also saw him being pushed on that and they said why the interviewers in C MbC asked him why did he do that? voice-verified

And he said, Well, he's got good relationships with the European leaders of the nation states, as he call them, and in particular that the EU. voice-verified

To sorry, the Euro is at a level that he feels is quite fairly valued. voice-verified
