"Since our last meeting, there have been at times sharp fluctuations in major currencies, and we are concerned about their possible implications for economic and financial stability," says the statement from this weekend's G7 meeting. It was the first time since the Prague meeting of 2000 that the G7 have united to voice explicit concern about moves in major currencies. Does this signal the bottom for the U.S. dollar? Probably not.

Out of Yen and Selling to Hedge Funds in Liquidation

I've been away in Kauai until Tuesday night, and since I've been back I've been trading furiously. I'm usually only this active in my personal account when the Russell Indices rebalance every June.

The first of my trades is actually the most recent.

About a half hour ago I sold out my entire long Yen (short US Dollar) position. I was betting on an unwind of the yen carry trade (carry trade is where investors borrow yen at low rates like 1% and lend in dollars at a higher rate like 5%). I had been betting on this unwind (and losing money) for about a year and recently increased the position.

Disclosure: I have no position in the Yen currency. I am still short British Pounds (a.k.a. cable).
