    What do the traders here watch to see the correlation between
    hte stock and the bond market ?

    Assuming SPX as the proxy for the stock market, should one
    be using TYX, TNX or perhaps something else ?

    Also, I see that the T-notes etc are traded in the futures
    market on a par basis, 100 etc. How does one understand
    this by just looking at the price action of TYX ? For eg. there
    is almost a 1 to 1 correlation between the SPOT and futures
    for the SPX. I assume some such correlation exists between
    the TYX and the bond futures.

    I don't neccessarily need a detailed answer. A pointer to
    some books, online sources will suffice. Thank you.
