This is excellent. Kyle Bass breaks everything down in 5 minutes. He thinks switching the Treasury auctions from long duration bonds to t-bills enabled the Treasury to throw another $2 trillion of liquidity into the market. He then gets into the Yen/carry trade. 👇👇

What’s interesting with Yen/carry is it wasn’t just the hedge fund using the trade The Japanese people were too. They were buying things in dollar assets because they were scared of their depreciating currency So when the Yen strengthened they helped unwind the carry trade too

The shift to T-bills not only boosts liquidity but also reshapes risk dynamics in the market.

How will they be able to keep selling them when rates drop?

Next hit to the US will be deflation and banks in my opinion. Force a massive sell by unwinding the carry trade, spreads blow out, bank goes down, and deflation is triggered due to that forced sell as unemployment spikes.

Japan is the largest foreign holder of US Treasury bonds at $1.2 trillion. For years, Japanese pension funds, insurance companies, and banks borrowed at 0% interest rates at home and invested that money in US Treasury bonds yielding 4-5%. This "carry trade" was essentially free money—borrow for nothing and earn solid returns with minimal risk. They turned this into a $20 trillion global trade (with 1.2 trillion being US Treasury bonds). But the game is changing. In November 2025, Japan announced a $130 billion stimulus package—money the government planned to spend to boost the economy. Normally, this would be good news. Instead, Japan's interest rates spiked to 1.8%, the highest in 20 years. Why? The bond market was sending a clear message: with Japan's debt already at 234% of GDP, investors have lost confidence in its ability to keep borrowing. This reaction ended the zero-rate environment that made the carry trade work. Now Japanese rates are at 1.8% while US rates are around 4.2%. The gap is shrinking, which means the carry trade isn't as profitable anymore. Japanese institutions might start selling their US Treasury bonds and bringing that money back home where rates are now competitive. If Japanese institutions start bringing that money home—even a fraction of it—the impact on US markets could be massive. When lots of people sell bonds, bond prices drop. When bond prices drop, interest rates go up. Higher US interest rates mean higher costs for mortgages, car loans, and credit cards for regular Americans. It also means the US government has to pay more to borrow money—and they're already paying $1 trillion per year just on interest for existing debt. The world's largest creditor-debtor relationship is entering uncharted territory. PS - I've recorded a 22-minute video covering this in more detail, as well as which sectors (and stocks) will benefit/suffer when this unfolds. If you want access to it, comment "JAPAN" and I'll DM it to you.
