♦️ **NEWS FLASH**
**Why are major financial markets rebounding today?**
Here’s the key driver behind the rally:
**Bessent is heading to Japan** to explore a potential agreement between the U.S. and Japan. The U.S. confirmed today that the deal is close to being finalized.
**Why this matters to investors:**
The anticipated deal could include:
- A pause or possible cut in Japanese interest rates
- Japan resuming its purchases of U.S. bonds
This scenario isn’t without precedent. From 2007 to 2010, Japan’s U.S. bond holdings surged from $573 billion to over $1 trillion.
**Market impact:**
Such a deal would likely ease concerns around the Yen Carry Trade and Basis Trade Leverage. As a result, investors are now closely monitoring Japan for signs of monetary policy alignment.
