The Yen Dollar Euro Salad
About this episode
This episode discusses the US Treasury's decision to support the Japanese Yen and its implications for global finance and the Eurozone.
We explore the US Treasury’s unprecedented decision to prop up the Japanese Yen by selling Euro assets, a move that bypassed the ECB and shattered decades of diplomatic norms. This episode breaks down how America’s $1 trillion debt service is driving aggressive financial maneuvers and what the erosion of the global rules-based order means for the future of the Eurozone. We analyse the structural fragility of the US economy and the potential for a European retaliation that could reshape global geoeconomics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
