And if it gets bigger, the Euro usually starts to pick up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"SL\">Why Bond Yields Matter<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"SL\">When central banks, like the US Federal Reserve, change their policies, it affects how much interest you can earn on bonds. Lately, the US has been increasing interest rates quite fast, which usually slows down the economy after a while. Looking ahead to 2024, the big question is whether the central banks will stop hiking rates or even start lowering them if the economy slows more than we think it will.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"SL\">Inflation&#8217;s Role<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"SL\">Inflation, or the rate at which prices go up, is also super important. If inflation falls closer to 2% by early 2024, people will start to believe that the Federal Reserve might stop raising rates. This belief could then lead to a decrease in US bond yields, and as a result, the difference between German and US bond yields might increase, which has in the past meant a stronger Euro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span lang=\"SL\">Charts and Patterns<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"SL\">The charts I am looking at show a pattern called an a-b-c formation tha unfolded in 2023. This pattern hints that the difference in yields could be at the support soon. Plus, there are a lot of large speculators heavily short based on COT data which might also suggest that yields could change direction, due to the sentiment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"SL\">So, if US bond yields start to go down in 2024, the difference between German and US bond yields could increase. This change could make the Euro stronger compared to the Dollar. I think that the exchange rate might have strong support around the 1.04 mark by the end of this year, and if things line up, we could see a big move up in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"ImageObject\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><a href='https:\/\/www.forexanalytix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture-1.jpg' class='avia_image'  ><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.forexanalytix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture-1.jpg' alt='us german 10y yield' title='Picture 1'  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-    avia-align-center '  itemprop=\"ImageObject\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><a href='https:\/\/www.forexanalytix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture-2.jpg' class='avia_image'  ><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/www.forexanalytix.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Picture-2.jpg' alt='' title='Picture 2'  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<section class=\"av_textblock_section \"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock  '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Trade well,<\/p>\n<p>Grega<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The Trader Funding Program.
