📉 Why Markets Are Crashing: The Yen Carry Trade Explained 📉

Sunday, around 8:00 p.m. EST, the crypto market started to “collapse”, triggering a broader financial shock. This isn't just typical volatility—it's driven by the unwinding of the "yen carry trade."

What is the Yen Carry Trade?
♦️ Borrow Yen: Low interest rates (~0%)
♦️ Convert to USD: Higher yields in U.S. assets
♦️ Profit from the Spread: Interest rate arbitrage

The Issue:
Recent strengthening of the yen (up 5%) and falling U.S. yields have turned this moneymaker into a money loser. The fallout? Major liquidations across the board, affecting stocks, bonds, and private assets.

Potential Contagion:
♦️Big hedge funds
♦️Private wealth management
♦️Sovereign wealth funds

If liquidated, expect massive asset dumps. This could be a brief panic or a prolonged crisis like the Great Financial Crisis. Staying informed and ready to act on long-term opportunities is crucial. As we navigate this volatility, remember: research and strategic buying can turn panic into profit.

Seems like the yen carry trade just did a nosedive. Volatility is a feature, not a bug. Stay informed and keep your cool—opportunity often hides in the chaos.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 6 August 2024⚡️

🔹In the north of the #GazaStrip, without any significant changes in the situation. Over the course of the day, Israeli troops launched several strikes on the capital of the Palestinian enclave, and the satellite town of Beit Lahia, located north of Gaza, was also hit.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, the evacuation of civilians from the southern areas of Khan Yunis continues in preparation for the IDF ground operation. There were also clashes in eastern Rafah.

🔹On the border with #Lebanon, Hezbollah carried out several waves of missile and drone attacks on northern Israel, with two drones able to bypass missile defence systems and fall in coastal cities.  In turn, the IDF hit the positions of the Shiite group, eliminating several of its fighters.

🔹In #Iraq, pro-Iranian formations launched a missile attack on the #US airbase of Ain al-Asad, located in the province of Al-Anbar. Five US militants were injured to varying degrees.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Kursk Region - #Summary for the Morning of 7 August 2024; 06:45 (GMT+3)📍

🔹By nightfall, it became finally clear that it was impossible to dislodge the foe forces from the territory they had occupied. Air strikes by the RFAF, which had been highly effective during the day, were now hampered by the high density of the foe's air defences.

🔹The town of #Sudzha has been virtually evacuated. Public institutions and the population was evacuated with the help of regional authorities, transport and ambulance crews were allocated. The governor is in touch with the troops and characterises the situation as tense but controlled. Over the day, 16 AFU armoured vehicles (more by morning) and 2 Buk SAMs were destroyed.

🔹All day and all night both sides were bringing in reserves. A number of sources report possible attempts by the foe to destabilise the situation in other parts of the front, including in order to mislead our headquarters.

🔹As of 22:00, according to open data, the AFU were in the settlements of #Daryino, #Sverdlikovo, #Gogolevka and #Goncharovka. The situation at the #Oleshnya settlement was difficult, our strongholds were taken, the selfless actions of our border guards have been reported. The foe was remotely mining the #Sudzha - #Belitsa Motorway.

🔹By nightfall there were 150 to 200 Ukrainian militants and up to 15 units of foe equipment in these areas. Our UAV units destroyed several units of foe equipment overnight.

🔹Our air defence worked in the region during the night. We reported about downed missiles and aircraft-type UAVs. During the day there was official information about wounded and injured.

📌 The upcoming day will be heavy. The foe has no less than a motorised infantry battalion on our and adjacent territory, up to 2000 militants as a second echelon, uses many drones, while skilfully employing air defence and electronic warfare equipment.

❗️Listen to the British PM Starmer. He literally wants to arrest you for having anti-government thoughts and posting memes.

⚠️Starmer also wants to extradite people in other countries such as Australia to face trial in the UK for criticising the British Government online.

🤬You can make this shit up.

❗️Israel immediately informed US officials that it was behind the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, The Washington Post reported, citing sources.

White House officials reacted to the death of Haniyeh with surprise and outrage, seeing it as a serious setback in their attempts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, the report said on Tuesday.

Last Wednesday, Hamas confirmed the death of Haniyeh in an Israeli strike on his residence in Tehran, where he had arrived after attending the inauguration of Iran's new president. The movement blamed Israel and the US for Haniyeh's death and said the attack would not go unanswered.

◾The worse racial riots Europe has seen in decades are been promoted by Tommy Robinson, a paid Mossad agent just when the British government changed and the new Prime minister hardened the UK stance on the massacres committed by the Israeli occupation and vowed to halt the sales of weapons to Israel.

This is not a coincidence, the Zionist lobby in Europe and the US has many paid agents both in the parliaments and in the streets. Tommy Robinson appeared yesterday on prime time Israeli TV:

- Far-right activist Tommy Robinson said in an exclusive interview with Israel's Channel 13 that "the average British person stands with Israel" and warned that if Israel loses the war in Gaza, "they are coming straight for Europe".
