The ordinary housewives in Japan, known as Mrs. Watanabe, were able to make millions of dollars trading currencies from their homes, challenging the dominance of Wall Street tycoons and international banking giants.
Japanese housewives turned to foreign exchange trading to seek better options for their savings, leading to the emergence of the Mrs Watanabe movement.
By utilizing carry trades, Japanese housewives were able to earn more from their investments and overcome the slow growth of their savings in Japan's banks.
The Mrs Watanabe carry trade phenomenon became a financial revolution, attracting global attention and allowing Japanese housewives to profit from their kitchen tables.
