The catalyst is the September BoJ hike plus a dovish Fed refusing to fight inflation, with the author expecting further BoJ hikes beyond September. Even a Fed hike would hurt the market, just less badly, so the author advises running for the hills. Main risk implied is that the Fed hikes and the damage is milder than feared.", "thesis_short": "Yen carry unwind to nuke stocks", "quote": "If the Fed doesn’t hike rates this month, prepare for some yen carry trade unwinding, which could nuke the stock market!
