George, I hear everyone talking about a rate cut before the late January FOMC meeting, but frankly, the precipitous drop in rate could very well be due to everyone running for the hills, rather than pricing in a rate cut. Also, in the last few days, the public debt dropped by some $50 Billions, the government might have been parking some of their tax receipts in their own treasuries (reducing temporarily the public debt) artificially depressing the rates. This is just a small seasonal effect due to corporations disbursment of quarterly income taxes, but $50 B in three days can impact the bond market quite a lot.
