US EU Bond Yield Spreads

Rather than simply comparing currencies' overnight interest rates, FX traders pay close attention to differentials in 10-year yields for the market's assessment of longer term interest/inflation rate horizons. The relationship is straight forward.

Hey Qin
I am not familiar with your trading strategy, but I noticed you wrote early today regarding USD/CAD reversal is coming soon, so why you plan to buy the CAD next week?

Personally I am very bearish in the CAD against dollar for fundamental and technical reasons. My advice to you is to think about where to put your stop loss before you enter any trade.
Good luck

Hey, Ashraf
I have close my position two days ago. USD/CAD should have a little more room to rally. But I don't want to get into trade on the pare now, I am not good on chasing price.

But I am looking for the next USD selling off season coming. It should come soon, maybe next week, right?

Best regards
Qin

Qin, i still target 1.1190 in USDCAD. if you believe stcosk will fall, expect USDCAD to target 1.12

Those Canada jobs were bad.

Hey, Mo
I was long USD and short CAD at the same rate as you, but I booked my profits at 1.10.

Good Luck with your positions!!!

Ashraf ,below is a repost of an earlier message of mine because I think it may have been missed amongst the other messages.


Hi Ashraf ,I have had some difficulty with finding a site that provides updated charts of long term yield spreads such as the one you have provided for this article. If it's not asking for too much would you be able to recommend a site or sites where we could access such information relating to the yield spreads of the main currencies ?
