  2. Inline claims data should allow the break

  3. 3.25% + tens and a 1% 2 yr. looks a little cheap to me

  4. I am long ZN at 120 11 Stop 120 8.5 about to move to break even. Profit around 120 25

    I wonder if the ZN might have a run today. If does I will miss it.

    Yep! I got 2 words for y'all! SHORT ZN!
    It's coming down. I've been building a position. Though as a trader I'm flexible in my positions if it doesn't pan out. But looks like it's going to break support anytime soon..


    have fun!

  6. The stock Jockeys are keeping it afloat but overall the day session has been pretty lame thus far.

  7. I bailed out at 120 21 for nice 10 points. It looks like we will have to wait for the action later today.

  8. I was about to say you need to take profits in the 20-23 resis zone for this morning buying under 3.25% the first time down this morning was a gift but now we are stuck in the chop before the 30 yr auction stay out till then. Also with Non-fun tomorrow things should not get too out of wack.

  9. Is the TNX index at CBOE a good way to monitor the 10 year yield in real time? I use IB and I do not have access to data from the cash markets.

    Is there a formula that links the 10 year yield to the ZN price? What about the fact that ZN is based on a basket of few maturities from 7 year +? Or does the 10 year yield pretty mach rule the price of ZN?

  10. 98.30 is the price of the Ten yr cash which is 3.25% I trade cash markets, have CQG and bloomberg. If you get the espeed/brokertech cash feed on CQG you can have yield (that is an extra 200 a month) I think that is the only way for you to see it.
