It is for example a matter of dispute whether derivatives increase or decrease the volatility of their underlying financial assets. Some hold that speculation is generally stabilizing; and since it has become easier with the rise of derivative trading, asset markets should have become less volatile.

To sum up the “anti carry” regime, it is essentially a world where inflation is alive and even potentially hyperinflationary. The authors seem to believe this as a solution can help clear up the debt burden in real terms and restore growth in the economy. The actual issue is far more complex and the only way to grow out of a debt overhang is real productive growth in the economy not by monetary inflation. Recall how a liquidity provision is a critical feature of carry trades, therefore, we should have a net increase in liquidity right? Well, yes, markets are flooded with liquidity during periods of calm, or rather, markets are flooded with an expectation of liquidity: Tim is also the author of the highly regarded Economics for Professional Investors (2nd edition 1998) along with many articles in newspapers and journals.

Consider first the delta hedging trader. If the market rises, they are forced to buy. If it falls, they must sell. Their actions will increase market volatility. Interestingly, if they have sold their option to another delta hedged trader, then their actions will be exactly mirrored by the buyer. There is zero net effect on the market, since their trades will exactly offset (assuming the same hedging strategy is used).This is an extremely informative book but I have to say that the writing itself was a little shaky. I'm rating this purely on the information relayed and the concepts covered. A thought-provoking, riveting read that shines much-needed light on an important, but neglected, topic. We are now in the midst of a perpetually moral hazard cycle in that carry traders, having their loses truncated, and walked out of the risk-of-ruin scenario relatively unscathed, they have incentive in ever increasing their prior behavior before, knowing the central banks will rescue them once again when the time comes. Because there exists an risk-of-ruin, and the manifestation of which on a large scale in unacceptable to the central bank: But with each successive crisis the oscillation between deflation and inflation shortens.

The past few decades have been too prosperous in Western countries. The book's authors believe that, sooner or later, people will have to pay for that with a painful long-term economic recession. They also predict that eventually, central banks will lose their ability to influence the situation. After that, the financial system will transform somehow.The book defines carry trade as risk bets where investors win if nothing happens. Examples of such bets are currency carry trades, as well as the sale of naked put options. After defining the core concept, the book details the history of financial markets since the 1990s, when the volatility suppression regime emerged. Also, in the end, you will find a cursory prediction of what such a regime can lead to.
