[Trading Portfolio] 2025 Week 04

A very frustrating week. Due to my control errors, I accidentally closed 2 trades which I did not intend to. This sank my profits down to 44.99 USD this week, almost making my whole week’s worth of effort go to nothing. I almost screamed in frustration as this happened not once, but twice. I will stop the complains here, and hopefully next week will be a better week.

In the meantime, Bank of Japan has increased their interest rates to 0.5%, while Trump has claimed that he will demand the Fed to further reduce interest rates. Although official news has stated that Trump cannot force the Fed to reduce interest rates, but we all know that what is on paper and what is on reality is different.

Many investors / traders / speculators borrow cheap JPY to convert to USD to profit from the difference in interests or from the other aspects of the financial markets. So when BOJ increases their interest rates and the US reduces theirs, this becomes a double whammy for those who borrow JPY to change to USD. We can expect a flurry of people dumping their USD to convert back to JPY to pay off their debt.

That is why, I decided to short the USD/JPY pair.
