  • Account of the ECB monetary policy meeting

    From ecb.europa.eu

    Mr Cœuré reviewed the latest financial market developments. Since the Governing Council’s monetary policy meeting on 25-26 October 2017, a significant flattening of the US Treasury yield curve had been observed, while the German government bond yield curve had flattened to a much lesser extent. In the United States the yield curve was at its flattest in almost a decade, with the ten-year Treasury bond yielding less than 60 basis points above the two-year Treasury bond, whereas at the start of 2017 the spread between the yields of the two bond maturities had been 125 basis points. The spread between German ... (full story)

  • ECB to revisit policy message in early 2018: minutes

    From reuters.com

    The European Central Bank should revisit its communication stance in early 2018 and gradually adjust its language to reflect improved growth prospects, the accounts of the bank’s December policy meeting showed on Thursday. A change in the ECB’s policy message would likely be taken by investors as a sign that rate-setters are getting ready to wind down their 2.55 trillion euros bond-buying programme, the key plank of their stimulus policy for the past three years. “The language, pertaining to various dimension of the monetary policy stance and forward guidance could be revisited early in the coming year,” the ...

I said many times usd is a sick currency and usa has many enemies. Despite my stupid bias of strong dollar for years and currently losing my ass, and I realize now sell usd on rallies. Everytime there is a good news for usd, not necessary it goes up but whenever bad news, usd get whack. Everytime some european officials talk, usd collapse. Euro goes up in bigger pips than usd goes up. Sick currency and I am sick as well.

I may be wrong, but I thought places like the US has in place a system (called press lockup) whereby economic data are realized to selected press members a few minutes before official release?

ECB researchers seem like "not happy" with this system in US. I guess if you are not going to beat them in the game, then join them. (See attached WSJ article)

Not quite, what FirasBK ment was they pay 6 or 7 figures, to really know it in advance, like a day or hours before, so they can work in large amount of orders. Call it corruption/bribery.

The day you stop trading the short timeframes, is the you start becoming profitable.

Trade the monthly moves and these spikes are meaningless.

The increase, in a countries, bond yields means money is leave that country.


US Bond Treasury yields have increased well before this news release. US 3-Month Bonds have been climbing for the past 2 years. Another example is in Canada, treasury yields haven't been this high since December 2008. Hence why the CAD is getting weak, even as Crude prices have increased.

Another example: Japna just started tapering, why? Bonds are starting to gain value, yes below 0% but above the lows set in December 2016.

Becoming a better FOREX trader revolves around understanding what the banks are doing. Banks follow Treasury yields. Countries treasury yields are the safest place for money to be stored, hence why the banks follow the yields. Yes understanding technical analysis is very important but understanding the underlying trend is at the utmost importance!

I see that 10yr US bonds are now more expensive than any other western governments' excluding Greece maybe.
