US Dollar Emerges as New Funding Currency for Carry Trades Citigroup reports a resurgence of the carry trade, but with a notable shift: hedge funds are now using US dollars instead of yen to fund investments in emerging markets. This change is driven by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts and the Bank of Japan’s recent rate hike, which have altered the traditional carry trade model. Hedge funds are increasingly bearish on the dollar and are using it to purchase emerging market currencies like the Brazilian real and Turkish lira. However, Citigroup anticipates this window for carry trades may be short-lived due to potential volatility surrounding the upcoming US presidential election. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts In Gold We Trust, Own Silver We Must READ MORE ZeroHedge: Silver: The Moment to Take Action Has Arrived READ MORE Why This Gold Bull Market Could Be Very Different READ MORE Currency Made of Actual Gold Hoping to Reach Nevadan’s Wallets READ MORE Jackson Hole Symposium: Powell's Speech to Signal Fed's Rate Cut Strategy READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
