There’s something happening with Euro/JPY vs USD that is forcing a significant inflow into US assets. It’s going to continue because: (1) EU kicked the can for far too long and they cannot meaningfully raise rates without facing the realities of the debt crisis of 2010-12, and now made impossible due to Ukraine, and (2) Japan is committed to driving down the yen even further. USD is king and real-estate will reflect that reality.


The weak yen is going to help Japan win back manufacturing from China. China is in a very tough spot right now. Between "zero covid" and losing mfg due to monetary and political reasons China may be reaching a local maximum for a while.

My income is in yen and this makes me sad lol
