While we've seen the yen pairs (EURJPY, USDJPY) and the Dow take a hit in recent days, I think carry trades remain in play. However, if the Fed surprises the markets and decides to leave rates unchanged on October 31st, I believe this will trigger another bout of risk aversion that could lead carry trades to tumble quite a bit.
