An essential part of the financial markets that most people don't know anything about.

[@JonathanBrowneMenzies]

Thank you, Tim. Great job explaining this, very helpful!

[@NicoTheChocolateLab]

Thanks, great video. Also, don't forget the effect the Yen Carry Trade (YCT) has had, and continues to have, on the US Equity Futures, helping to push them to ridiculous and unsustainable levels, particularly with the DX being manipulated lower to strengthen exports. Generally speaking, watch the risk-off inverse correlation trading of the Yen vs. the S&P, Nasdaq, and Dow cash indices. Some day when there is cause/impetus (manufactured of course) for the S&P to begin the journey downward to trade the massive imbalance which exists at 1420-1443 on the ES from 12/31/12 to 1/2/13, you'll see a surge in the Yen (and of course the VIX) to cover Yen short positions used to leverage long equity positions.

I may be rather naive and uninformed, but would it not be possible to hedge the risk of a strong Yen, with an options (or even futures) contract? Please let me know!

@Jdjohnjd If the yen gets high Japanese products get expensive for export. Exports goes down, trade surplus goes down. Result japanese corporations will move manufacturing to other countries. Japan gets hollowed out. Possibly more unemployment the younger generation is already having a tough time finding employment. Domestically Japan is in a deflationary situation less yen asked for same goods just to stimulate domestic spending i.e. discounts and sales.
