Does the Bank of Japan’s Intervention Spell Trouble for the US Treasury Market?

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Circle and FTX US. “The Breakdown” kicks off the week with a look at one of the big global macro stories shaping markets right now, which is the first Bank of Japan interventions into the country’s currency markets in two decades. Some are speculating the BoJ’s actions could have implications for the U.S. as well because Japan has to liquidate its U.S. Treasury holdings to prop up the price of the yen. - Nexo Pro allows you to trade on the spot and futures markets with a 50% discount on fees.
