Eurodollars

Eurodollars, not to be mistaken for the currency pair EURUSD, are time deposits denominated in U.S. dollars at banks outside the United States, The term was originally coined for U.S. dollars in European banks, but it expanded over the years to its present definition. A U.S. dollar denominated deposit in Tokyo or Beijing would be likewise deemed a Eurodollar deposit. There is no connection with the Euro currency or the Eurozone.

U.S. Treasury Bond

Otherwise known as the 30-year treasury bond, this product has the longest maturity of any bond issued by the U.S. Treasury and as a result, will generally pay a higher interest rate than shorter Treasuries to compensate for the additional risks inherent in the longer maturity. In the past the 30-year treasury was regarded as the benchmark but in more recent times this has now been over taken by the 10-year.
