Japanese bank is going to sell $63 billion of collateralized loan investments that they are upside down on. Controlled fire sale.Can you elaborate on this a little. I have a hard time wrapping my head around all the bonds and bills projections.
Mortgage Backed Securities are one type of collateralized loan.
Collateralized loans are usually considered less risky and leveraged more.
Once one bank starts selling, everyone else will too just like the financial crisis of 2008. No buyers, market collapses. Margin calls can't be made. First movers survive. Those left holding the bag go broke.
Stocks get sold off buy institutions in an attempt to raise enough funds to stay open. Stock market crashes.
The US Treasury has listed this bank as being eligible for Repo. Aka foreign bank bad investment bailout slush fund.
Fed will buy the Treasuries debt by printing more money. Aka inflation. Dollar worth less.
I'm probably going to trim positions over the summer, get to cash. But be ready to get out of cash before inflation deteriorates it too much.
