About this episode

The episode discusses the U.S. intervention in the currency market to support Japan's economy and its implications for American borrowing costs.

On the last day of July, the United States did something it had not done in 28 years: it walked into the currency market and spent billions rescuing another country's money. The White House called it friendship. Governments do not spend tens of billions on friendship, and Treasury secretaries do not say "whatever it takes" about things that don't let them sleep at night. The real story runs through Tokyo. Japan is America's banker, holding over a trillion dollars of U.S. Treasuries, and its collapsing currency forced Washington into a corner: rescue the yen, or watch American borrowing costs spiral just as the 30-year yield hits its highest level since 2007. The machine Washington built for the job reveals exactly what the people running the system fear most. It is not the yen. Learn to invest alongside the top minds in commodities.
