EURUSD

Here you go, the rest you will have to do some research, go back to 2011, or 2013 and see how they were hiking rates, you are looking at "federal fund effective rates" which is now i think 0.08, what you want to look for is interest rate which is 0.25 now.

no they weren't hiking rates the fed control the fed funds
so what rate are you talking about

You are confusing federal fund effective rate with interest rates. They are different. I will not stretch this conversation further, because you are not understanding macroeconomics yet, you can't even tell the difference between federal fund effective rate and interest rates, two different scenarios. When the fed is talking about hiking rates they mean the interest rate which is 0.25 now, not the federal fund effective rate. Interest rate have impact on currencies. That is why when they talk about hiking rates, tapering, and so on, in this case USD, you see USD index rise, EURUSD fall, USDJPY rise, USDCHF rise, and so on. Do you get it now? You need to educate yourself more on macroeconomics, which is not going to be in one day. Go back to my previous posts, I have replied to you and posted couple of macroeconomics very reliable and popular websites. They are easy to use too. Go through them and pay attention to it, it will help you a lot to understand where price is going.

The fed only control the fed funds rate mate ,an overnight rate
the rest is priced by the free market ,when they talk about raising rates its the fed funds rate
unless their carrying out QE which affects all the free market

you don;'t know how rates work ,I never said higher rates don't affect the currency at all ,actually it has always been a major factor

Just got it from here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histor...mittee_actions

I know how it works. Like I said, I am done talking to you about this, everything was shared and shown to you, you are showing the rates that says 0.08 and I have shared the interest rate as it is now which is 0.25. Not sure what else to say, you are not getting it. Maybe you will one day. Either way, I will not stretch this anymore as I said earlier, because there is no point.

Your 2nd line shows where the Fed rate starts to drop off, not where they stop raising rates.

Gotta go.
Enjoy, trade was you see folks.

explain this then

I will not. We are done talking about this.

I don't know what you're talking about the different rates I haven't quote any ,I know it to be as good a 0% but there is a band they operate in .

The only interest rate the fed control is the fed funds overnight ,the rest is free market less qe if there is any .



The Effective Federal Funds Rate (EFFR) is calculated as the effective median interest rate of overnight federal funds transactions during the previous business day. It is published daily by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.[3]
The federal funds target rate is determined by a meeting of the members of the Federal Open Market Committeewhich normally occurs eight times a year about seven weeks apart. The committee may also hold additional meetings and implement target rate changes outside of its normal schedule.

Federal Discount Rate vs. Federal Funds Rate
The federal discount rate is the interest rate the Fed charges on loans. It is not to be confused with the federal funds rate, which is the rate banks charge each other for loans that are used to hit reserve requirements.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. The federal discount rate is the interest rate the Federal Reserve (Fed) charges banks to borrow funds from a Federal Reserve bank.
2. The Fed discount rate is set by the Fed's board of governors, and can be adjusted up or down as a tool of monetary policy.
3. Lending at the discount rate is part of the Fed's function as a lender of last resort, and is one of the Fed's primary monetary policy tools.

What is the Federal Reserve responsible for controlling?
The U.S. central banking system—the Federal Reserve, or the Fed—is the most powerful economic institution in the United States, perhaps the world. Its core responsibilities include setting interest rates, managing the money supply, and regulating financial markets.

Now go learn macroeconomics and do not talk about it until you understand it. Which you do not so far. You are confusing yourself, and you will start confusing new traders that want to learn macroeconomics.

yes the discount rate but banks deal with each other thats a last resort window
interest rates are set free markets ,banks deal with each other

Borrowing from the central bank is a substitute for borrowing from other commercial banks, and so it is seen as a last-resort measure. The interbank rate, called the Fed funds rate, is usually lower than the discount rate. As long as the Fed funds rate is lower than the discount rate, commercial banks will prefer to borrow from another commercial bank rather than the Fed

I am done for now. I will talk to you traders tomorrow. Trade safe.

so who sets the interest rate on that 10y you posted earlier?

spoiler alert
the free market price all interest rates while the fed control an overnight rate ,which is basically 0% right now

QE holds these rates down as they taper this will go up ,which is exactly what I said all along ,thats the problem with the tapering to 0 that fast imo

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. The Federal Reserve System (or the Fed) is the central bank and monetary authority of the United States.
2. The Fed provides the country with a safe, flexible, and stable monetary and financial system.
3. The Federal Reserve System is composed of 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks that are each responsible for a specific geographic area of the U.S.
4. The Fed's main duties include conducting national monetary policy, supervising and regulating banks, maintaining financial stability, and providing banking services.
5. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the Fed's monetary policy-making body and manages the country's money supply.

The Federal Reserve, America's central bank, is responsible for conducting monetary policy and controlling the money supply. The primary tools that the Fed uses are interest rate setting and open market operations (OMO).

Quantitative easing is when we buy bonds to lower the interest rates on savings and loans.


What is QE and how does it work?
Quantitative Easing (QE) is a type of non-traditional monetary policy in which a central bank buys a large number of securities to stimulate the economy. When QE works well, the increase in the money supply encourages lending, lowers interest rates, and results in economic growth.



KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Gross domestic product (GDP) is the monetary value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period.
2. GDP provides an economic snapshot of a country, used to estimate the size of an economy and growth rate.
3. GDP can be calculated in three ways, using expenditures, production, or incomes. It can be adjusted for inflation and population to provide deeper insights.
4. Though it has limitations, GDP is a key tool to guide policy-makers, investors, and businesses in strategic decision-making.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Monetary policy is a set of actions that can be undertaken by a nation's central bank to control the overall money supply and achieve sustainable economic growth.
2. Monetary policy can be broadly classified as either expansionary or contractionary.
3. Some of the available tools include revising interest rates up or down, directly lending cash to banks, and changing bank reserve requirements.

Bond yields differentials usually move in tandem with currency pairs. This phenomenon occurs because capital flows are attracted to higher yielding currencies. As the rate of one currency increases relative to another, investors are attracted to the higher yielding currency.



Rising yields can create capital losses in the short-term, but can set the stage for higher future returns. When interest rates are rising, you can purchase new bonds at higher yields. Over time the portfolio earns more income than it would have if interest rates had remained lower.




Yield goes up, currency goes up, interest rate rise, yield rise, currency rise.





KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Tapering is the theoretical reversal of quantitative easing (QE) policies, which are implemented by a central bank and intended to stimulate economic growth.
2. Tapering refers specifically to the initial reduction in the purchasing of and accumulation of central bank assets.
3. As a result of their dependence on sustained monetary stimulus under QE, the financial markets may experience a downturn in response to tapering; this is known as a "taper tantrum."
4. Taper tantrums may lead central banks to promptly re-accelerate asset purchases (and essentially reverse the process of tapering).
5. Central banks, for the most part, have not been able to sustainably unwind their expanded balance sheets.

good reasonable answer ,I prefer a larger font but can't complain about the boldness
