The similarity between the Dollar rise since the election and what happened in 2016 is uncanny.
In both cases, the Dollar was by this point closing in on a 4% rise, with an ultimate rise of around 6% by the end of the year. So - if 2016 is a guide - there's another 2% to go now. Source: Robin Brooks
🚨 The “Euro swap cash basis” is negative for the first time since its creation in 1999.🚨
👉 It reflects the difference in cost between borrowing money in euros and the cost of swapping it to another currency, like U.S. dollars. 👉When it’s negative, it means borrowing in euros and swapping it to dollars is unusually expensive or difficult. 👉The fact that it’s negative for the first time since 1999 suggests that dollar demand is at an all time high🥤 Source: BowTiedMara @BowTiedMara
