The error in judgement here translates into incompetence. This wasn't some pointless euro stat. It was a very important FOMC announcement. Whoever didn't recognise this should be sacked.
Out of interest did it have a volatility stop on the fed one where they said they would do QE1 on Tnotes, I was in asia that night and didn't bother looking, did tnote shut down for that too?
I don't recall the any of the treasury contracts being shut down on that night or any other night. I do recall it being extremely busy as well
CORRECT. nothing in the us shut down on that particular night. i remember eurex did not shut but very little traded. eurodollars and treasuries are a much better trade. liffe and eurex with rsj is just a rigged game. coupled with the exchanges stupidity its a no go. im not getting hung on an order book closure and then the market reopening 3 big figures lower or higher. check out liffes last monhts volumes they are pathetic.
