Eur short + Treasuries long


Hi guys,

I thought it would be an awesome trade to sell Eur short and buy T-Bills (up to 13weeks) with the proceeds in USD.

My broker charges my 3.689% pa for a loan in Eur.

T-Bills with maturity in 13 weeks give me 5.010% pa as interest payment.

With these circumstances…why is the Euro that high? Why do not more people short Eur and buy treasuries. Especially if you consider that the Euro had a nice rally and maybe now it is overbought a little bit…

Maybe I have missed sth but for me it looks like a trade with a high win-rate and good return.
