It is amazing how the bond traders are manipulating the FX market Today the USD depreciated around 1.25% against the major currencies - mostly the EUR - at the same time a report shows that manufacturing in Germany weakened. the 3 year auction went out at 1.375 with a 1 to 3 cover ratio - the actual yield doubled because FX manipulation. Taking a conservative leverage of 1 to 10 this manipulation resulted in around 20% to 22% with funding cost at 0.25% to 0.3% No wonder Buffet buys notes and bonds
