Let's run through some headlines starting with Japan. voice-verified

The Bank of Japan just announced that they were hiking interest rates to 1.25%. voice-verified

Now, before you hit the skip button, I know what you're thinking. voice-verified

Why should you care about what the Japanese central bank is doing right now? voice-verified

Well, here's why it matters. voice-verified

Matters to you and US investors in general. voice-verified

A quick history lesson first. voice-verified

For about 30 years, Japan was the land of free money. voice-verified

Rates in Japan were at near zero, sometimes below zero percent. voice-verified

The reason Japan kept interest rates so low for so long was because they were fighting deflation. voice-verified

And since money was basically free to borrow in Japan for so long, global investors were going to Japan to borrow money in yen and then take that money out of Japan. voice-verified

And putting into higher returning assets somewhere else, like US bonds and stocks. voice-verified

That is called the Yen Kerry trade, and it's been happening for years now. voice-verified

At the same time that was happening, Japanese investors themselves sent a ton of money overseas because returns at homes were so low. voice-verified

Today, Japanese investors own around $2.5 trillion worth of US stocks, bonds, and other assets. voice-verified

In fact, Japan is the single largest foreign holder of US treasuries with roughly voice-verified

1.1 trillion dollars. voice-verified
