USD currency swaps (!?!?!?!)


Dude, the fact that you're asking such a basic question around FX derivatives clearly shows that you don't know what you're doing and should definitely not be fucking around with them.

Especially when your post contains a bunch of surface-level, qualitative bullet points and nothing about balance of trade, yield on Turkish national debt, and abso-fucking-lutely nothing on their national treasury or central banking system.

You probably started trading between now and March 2020, did fairly well making stock picks off of your own intuition, and thought to yourself "hey, I'm naturally pretty good at this" - the thing here is anybody could have dumped money into equities in the LTM and made out like a bandit - the S&P returned ~25% since then.

you sound like you know a lot, any resources you could recommend to read and understand more about the things you mentioned?

Yes - here

This paper serves as a pretty good intro to relative valuation
