Japan is really asking for it from the international community. The Kiwi's finally had to launch a currency attack and this is just going to make more government raids liekly

Japan is not the only players heavily involved in carry trades - clearly a bias article. The "news" will put out any spin they want, regardless of the truth.

Funny news heading though.

Hilarious article. But cheap yen isn't going away and none of this stupidity and madness will stop until the BoJ hikes, or says that hikes are imminent.

Apart from that happening, there's no reason to stop behaving like madmen and drving these high yielding currencies to the moon
