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
with this swap, it looks like usdeur and usdgbp both weakened. Currency pairs - one side gets weak, other strong - USD will probably get strong. Not good for risk assets.
I will also suggest that dxy is funny instrument - member states can cut interest rates and dxy goes up, and member states can raise interest rates and dxy goes down - totally not intuitive.
A few highlights - its not just lithgraphic machines - its also "US PERSONS" - aka - if you are a US passport holder and a chip manu expert you cannot work in china without a license.
Hopelessness breeds hopelessness, which breeds cynycism. The next branch i think is either self harm or an angry attack on the society itself - a rejection of society that caused the suffering.
