Japan Just Exposed America’s Mortgage Problem And It Can't Be Stopped

Everyone is waiting for the next housing crash. Chris thinks they may be watching the wrong thing. In Episode 348, he connects the lessons of 2008 to today’s mortgage market, where major non-bank lenders are under pressure, Treasury yields keep climbing, and Japan’s fight to defend the yen could be making America’s mortgage problem worse. This isn’t a call for another housing collapse—it’s a warning that the financial system is showing cracks in places most people aren’t watching.
