All this matures this friday.
Tin foil hat time - swiss banks own a LOT of us equities.
so they took a loan and bought tons of bonds.
This causes dxy to weaken yields go down, stonks go up, giving swiss a chance to dump equities.
then they repay that loan on friday.
further evidence - notice how the usdcnh lines riiiite up with the 30y....
buying bonds will weaken usd, moon stonks.
now swiss own bonds.
next they unload the dogshit (tech stonks) all day to anyone who will buy them.
@SantiagoAuFund this is how the dxy member states have mitigated the dollar from hitting the stratosphere?
Each takes turns buying US treasuries - yesterday was a nice touch since the bond market is somewhat illiquid to handle such a huge demand right at the open?
You wanna see this visually?
Ok - 1) dxy relative to oil kinda tracks & falls below relative price of oil
2) oil tracks close
3) swiss buy 11B in bonds weakening dxy (that the swiss line) - stonks moon. Now relative to oil DXY a LOT weaker than oil.
So now rates++=big oil--
This prob why DXY has stayed relatively calm & in a trading range vs going to 120 (or higher) - these swap games and CB $ games - Swiss one is the one I caught - im sure there have been others more sneaky
If i didnt leave america when i did I would have never understood the global trading system or currencies.
You benefit from my knowledge as I share what I have learned.
This is more of that.
This is a currency thread.

Globalization has been a disaster for the american worker.
Globalization has ONLY been enabled thru currency manipulation by US trading parterners to create an inequitable trading balance, which puts massive downward pressure on US wages and jobs.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/spee…
Yes, your shoes and clothes cost a little less - but the people in US who used to produce those products are now "public charges" and a burden on the American social system.
Not everyone can "learn to code" or be doctors or engineers.
Many honest folks just want to clock in, make money, and go home.
So i was thinking - "man, the euro sure did change in value quite rapidly. EU cant afford to buy back that debt like that....this was an external state actor....
I wonder who that could be?"
To explain, if you earn USD and you live in EU?
Life right now sucks.
🧵👇
if you are a europee and you wanna go vacation?
The world is your oyster....especially asia.
You can buy a LOT in asia.
Currencies are pairs, or ratios.
2nd chart EURVND is inverted - again proving my oint, currencies are pairs.
You get nearly 30000 vnd for 1 of your europees.
But i wonder "who the fuck dumped EUR debt to do this". Either the ECB bought back debt (they cant) or someone international said "Fuck this im out"
Something happened March 4th that spooked the EU bond market.
