According to the interest parity condition, such a strategy should not be systematically profitable: On average, shouldn’t the interest advantage of Australian dollars be wiped out by relative appreciation of the yen? Is the prevalence of the carry trade evidence that interest parity is wrong? What is the risk of investing in such a strategy?
