Hello
A bit off topic, but I was wondering how carry trade works - Let us say hypothetically that I just take $1m loan in Japan, and spend it in some sort of Iceland / New Zealand bonds or whatever... So, if there's no motion (hypothetically!) In both currency pairs, I'll receive my 10% or more... But let us say it transfers... Can I defend my investment using a contract on currency rate? Is there anything?
And say there is, if there was a move against me, what would be there damage to my investment? Can I lose money or only get less yield?
Have a good weekend!
