America Just Became Japan’s Central BankU.S. Dollar Currency IndexTVC:DXYRealMacroThe United States has now joined Japan in purchasing yen and selling dollars to prevent the Japanese currency from collapsing. The United States is deliberately weakening the dollar against the yen to protect Japan from the consequences of its own monetary and fiscal policies. But there is no free lunch. A weaker dollar raises the price of imports for Americans. Intervention may also accelerate the unwinding of the yen carry trade, pressure risk assets and increase volatility in U.S. Treasury markets. Japan holds enormous dollar reserves and Treasury securities. If supporting the yen requires Japan to sell more dollar assets, American yields could rise precisely when the U.S. government is already financing record debt and interest expense. Japan wants: low interest rates; aggressive government spending; a strong yen; low imported inflation . It cannot permanently have all four. Currency intervention can punish traders and change the price temporarily. It cannot permanently override interest-rate differentials, fiscal deterioration and capital flows. The chart setup is simple. The US is on the verge of a major collapse, having already cracked once. Who is going to bail out the DXY when this collapses? Japan?
