JAPAN JUST KILLED THE GLOBAL MONEY PRINTER AND NOBODY NOTICED
The most dangerous number in finance right now is 1.71%.
That’s Japan’s 10-year bond yield. Highest since 2008. Here’s why your retirement just got obliterated:
For 30 years, Japan printed infinity money at 0% rates and exported it worldwide. $3.4 trillion flowed into US Treasuries, European debt, emerging markets. This invisible bid kept YOUR mortgage cheap, YOUR stocks inflated, YOUR government solvent.
November 10th, 2025: The bid disappeared.
Japan’s yield hit 1.71%. They’re pumping $110 billion stimulus into their economy while debt sits at 263% of GDP. The math just became impossible. At 1.7% rates, Japan pays $27 billion MORE in interest. Every. Single. Year.
Here’s the extinction event nobody sees coming:
Japanese pension funds are pulling $1.1 trillion OUT of US Treasuries right now because keeping money in America LOSES them money after hedging costs. The largest foreign buyer of American debt is becoming a seller.
When Japan stops buying, interest rates don’t stay flat. They explode. US 10-year yields will jump 40 basis points minimum from flow dynamics alone. Your 7% mortgage becomes 8%. Corporate debt refinancing costs spike 60%. Zombie companies holding $3 trillion in junk bonds start defaulting in waves.
The yen carry trade just reversed. $1.2 trillion in borrowed yen funding crypto, stocks, emerging markets must unwind. Every hedge fund, every momentum trade, every leveraged bet built on free Japanese money is getting margin called simultaneously.
This breaks in three places:
Stock valuations were built for 2% bond yields forever. At 3.5% yields, the S&P 500 fair value drops 35%. Emerging market currencies collapse without Japanese capital inflows. Europe’s debt crisis returns because Italy and Spain lose their silent buyer.
December 18th the Bank of Japan meets. 50% chance they hike again. If they do, sell everything not nailed down.
Your 401k doesn’t price this in yet. The Fed can’t stop this. No central bank can.
The world’s biggest piggy bank just cracked open and the money is flowing backwards.
Position accordingly or get destroyed.

Australia’s M3 money supply has increased from $1.8 trillion dollars in 2015 to $3.3 trillion dollars in 2025. That’s an increase of 83 per cent in just a decade.
In other words, a significant proportion of Australia’s total money supply has been created in the last 10 years.
And that flood of new money has been deeply inflationary.
It's why we still feel the pain at the checkout. Inflation quietly erodes your buying power. The more money sloshing around the system, the less each existing dollar is worth.
The government, the Reserve Bank, and the retail banks, who have been behind the massive increase in the money supply, have avoided major criticism because most of the media doesn’t understand what’s going on.
Let's look at gold.
Today an ounce of gold buys $6,250 Australian dollars.
A decade ago, an ounce of gold bought $1,500.
That means in the space of just 10 years, the Australian dollar is now worth four times less in terms of gold.
Now look at housing. That $1.2 million home in Adelaide? It was around $600,000 just five years ago. It’s the same house, same roof, same street. The structure itself has depreciated, yet the price you pay has doubled.
This shouldn’t be surprising. Australia abandoned the gold standard, which fixed the value of the nation's currency to that of gold, in 1932. We have fully embraced the fiat currency model. The value of our dollar now depends largely on trust (and the discipline of those issuing it).
Increased printing, borrowing, and lending expands the money supply, inevitably placing downward pressure on the value of existing dollars.
When it comes to money, more is not always better.
If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.
