There s one correction necessary:

Well, as Fed lowered rates, carry
traders actually
made a profit, cause... US bonds went up. They are long those.


And no, when the Fed lowered rates, the curve steepened massively and 10/30 year yields actually rose. The bond prices went down!

Carry traders do not buy bonds, they do money market deals, or to more concise, FX Swaps pocketing the yield differential.

Carry traders dont do much USD/JPY. The lions share is JPY sold against EUR, GBP, and the minors.
