Take right now( past 2 hours) USDJPY, surges! Why you ask?

Treasury yields have flat lined, for the past 4 days. Remember the market breaths.

COGSx86,

I am grateful that you are going out of your way in sharing your insights...

You have given much to chew.

Much appreciated...

Thanks

Treasuries continue to GAP up and continue higher. USDJPY will continue lower. Just look over the past 48 trading hours, Treasuries have continued to go higher but the USDJPY has pushed higher as well. USDJPY to continue higher, many hurdles it would have to over come.

Master Yoda,

What is your take on the upcoming FOMC meeting. Is the rate hike imminent based on the yields staying above the fed fund rate?

Thanks

The federal funds rate vs 3-month treasuries has not had a delta this large in 10 years so expect rates to go up.

As for the USD, it will continue to get weaker obviously. But by how much I cannot say. I believe the trend will continue. Its direction and strength will be revealed as we see the push down occur. Once that push occurs, I will provide my insights on how fair price will move in relation to the original move.

Something else to consider, it would be really interesting to see what this guy did, considering he got charged for apparently manipulating interest rates.

Since the last rate hike, Dec 17th 2017 (4 months ago) Treasury yields have gone from 1.34 to 1.8. This is the fastest gain in US treasury the market has seen in the past 10 years.

What your looking at below is the markets reaction to the change in the US Federal Funds Rate. Each time you see the market make the change in direction at each rate hike. From USDJPY to EURUSD, the USD gets weaker.

In addition to the inverse relation between Gold Fix and 3-Month Treasury, is there some other co-relation between Gold Fix and 3 Month Treasury Yield like we see in Fed Fund Rate trying to stay above the 3 Month Treasury Yield?


Thanks

What do you see on the chart, you posted? Nothing hidden about the relationship. The one thing I would be watching however is the GOLD to SILVER RATIO.

We have determined GOLD moves higher as interest rates have gone higher, essentially assets looking for places other then the USD to store their money. We then can say because SILVER and GOLD move together the correlation is important. Over the past few weeks we have see the correlation of GOLD and Silver separate. This would be considered one of the largest divergence's the pair has ever seen since 1971. Its almost a 4$ spread. You will see Silver reach 20 in the not so distant future.

Look at the charts we should. FED policy tied to Trumps inauguration and trade policy has changed the landscape.

Since Trumps inauguration the DXY has dropped from its highs and the stock market pushed higher. Since the Stock market has met headwinds the DXY has consolidated. Tied in with the FED policy of increasing rates, foreign banks are looking for places they will get higher returns on over night rates in the US. At the same time push investors into BONDS for security. Hence the drop in the stock market and the drop in 3 month treasuries.

Tie this in with the BOJ talking about easing. https://www.bloomberg.com/view/artic...itative-easing

Don't get me wrong, this could all change at any time but currently this is what is happening.

With tomorrows rate hike decision, the USD has been on a tear. But the FED might put an end to that.

Couple things to look at:

1) 3-month treasuries have been hovering ahead of the FED funds rate now for a few weeks, and is gaining momentum again.
2) Oil has risen, with OPEC cutting supply some more. (Bad for the USD)
3) The USD needs to breathe.
4) Morgan Stanley (1st or 2nd largest forex player) wanted 110. So looks like they get their wish or close enough - https://www.forexfactory.com/showthr...0#post10922830
5) CME gives the rate percentage 94.3% - http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/inte...n-to-fomc.html

But remember the market always reacts afterwards, to the FEDs decision.

Master Yoda,

Thanks for another wonderful tool. It says 94.3% chance of no hike, but as we can see Treasuries are leading the FED fund rate. What is your take?

And how was your experience using the CME tool?

Thanks
