This week we are going to have such a parade of central bank decisions on the menu: #RBA, #BOJ, #FOMC, #BOE, and #SNB 😵💫 All eyes will surely be on the #BOJ and the #FOMC. I do expect they will play “good cop bad cop” with market emotions. 🤭 The…

THE #BOJ DILEMMA – SAVE #JAPAN OR THE GLOBAL #STOCKS BUBBLE
This is it, the point where the #BOJ cannot kick the can down the road any longer has arrived. As you know, I have written many times about the #BOJ, warning of the consequences of their unbelievably reckless actions. 🚩 $JPY CARRY TRADE – THE BIGGEST FINANCIAL TICKING TIME BOMB…
JAPAN END GAME – A DEEPLY DEVALUED $JPY AND A WORTHLESS #NIKKEI
The #Nikkei just broke 40,000 and yet no one in #Japan is celebrating, literally speaking. Why? The purchasing power of $JPY literally fell through the floor in the past 30 years as a result of endless (and reckless) nonstop money printing. As I wrote almost 5 months ago on X:…
THE (FAKE) NARRATIVE THAT FUELED THE BREAKNECK #STOCKS RALLY SINCE LAST OCTOBER JUST CRUMBLED – WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
To anyone who lives in the real world, it has always been clear that #inflation wasn’t truly cooling down as the official (politically adjusted) CPI data pretended to portray (TwitterX). If you want to have a live snapshot of the distorted reality “economists” see from the high rise ivory towers…
DID THE MARKETS JUST HIT A SPEED BUMP OR A WALL?
US CPI came in hot, to the surprise of many, but not us, as we have been talking about this for the past 3 weeks, right? (TwitterX). What honestly surprised me is that #stocks didn’t manage to follow the usual script once the latest US CPI was released, although they…
IN A SCRAMBLE TO SURVIVE, SOFTBANK IS KILLING ALIBABA!
$BABA closed the last session crashing 9% after results beating expectations across the board, leaving many dumbfounded. Of course, the media quickly made up a narrative to write a story that could more or less fit the price action: “Alibaba crashes after pulling its Cloud Unit listing due to US…
PANIC BEHIND CLOSED DOORS
So, as I wrote 24h ago, it was clear to anyone paying attention that the Bank Of Japan put itself in a very dangerous spot (TwitterX). Back in 1992, when the Bank Of England was in danger, the Bundesbank cut rates 25bp even if it didn’t make any sense for…
NOW THE HEDGE FUNDS (HYENAS) KNOW THE #BOJ (LION) IS VULNERABLE!
A big powerful “Minsky Moment” struck many investors, including me, around 10am EST on Monday when the last #BOJ intervention barely moved the needle in the FX market. If you think the BOJ can simply hike rates to strengthen the $JPY, then you don’t realize that when a central bank…
Is ARM The Canary In The $NVDA Coal Mine?
Newspapers have been cheering up the “deal” this week where Softbank managed Vision Fund successfully sold ARM 25% it owned to… Softbank. In September 2020, $NVDA agreed to buy the whole ARM from Softbank at a $40bn valuation paying in cash and shares (NVIDIA), but it preferred to lose $1.25bn…
