met with the cme group this afternoon. Their data shows that the 2-5-10yr markets have rebounded since december but the liquidity in the 30y has flatlined since then. They are curently interviewing all market participants and putting this decesion on a "fasttrack". We should know their answer in a month. They are interested in meeting with anyone who traded medium to large size in the past. They want to see the 30Y full tick be deaper than 125 contracts. 50+75 current average I guess pm me for additional info
I was wondering if there exists a simple & approximate method of converting treasury futures prices (30yr, 10yr, 5yr & 2yr) to treasury yields?? That way I can link my treasury yields charts to my futures charts in order to analyse the night session using approximate yields. I found the following link: - http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview/id/523618.html Is there a simpler way anyone?? Thanks, J
Is it the end of the world and they just forgot to tell us? EDIT:CNBC reports fed won't be buying as many treasuries as thought. They running out of money? Printing press out of ink?
Worse than that is I was short from 123'085 ZB and kicked myself most of the way down. How do you get back in after drop like that??
Supposedly the Fed purchases Thursday were light. Also there is new supply (auctions) coming next week after a two-week gap. And news reports are reporting sovereign credit downgrades that may affect the U.S. eventually.
