"Business Week predicted a return to the Yen carry trades this week. "

Interesting....but, unless one has a very good crystal ball, betting on Japanese interest rates at this point seems like flipping a coin. Who knows where the rates will go?

I may be wrong, but it appears to me that with the huge Japanese bond offerings this year:

*If the BOJ goes ahead and buys most of the bonds, they can keep interest rates low.
*If the BOJ does not aggressively support the bonds, who knows how HIGH rates will go? WHO could buy that many bonds?

What do you think?

Thanks!
