Recorded on August 4, 2026 at NRS Studios
This NRS World clip from Tom Luongo’s conversation with host Andy Millette focuses on the mechanics behind the yen carry trade, the euro-yen cross, and the global capital flows connecting Japan, Europe, the United States, and major central banks. Luongo explains why investors borrow in low-rate currencies, how small yield spreads become significant when leverage is added, and why currency movements can force carry trades to unwind.
Luongo also lays out his thesis that European institutions and offshore financial centers are major beneficiaries of yen-funded leverage. He discusses the Bank of Japan’s rate path, Japanese government bonds, U.S. Treasuries, German bond spreads, Bank of England holdings, and the role of shadow banking. These are Luongo’s interpretations, not established facts, and the clip is presented for discussion and education.
