Check the date. He put that on a 30 day delay, possibly to encourage people paying for real time access. I stopped following his commentary at that point.

Easing may have no effect on spreads. Or it may blow them out if the market takes that as a sign that things are worse. IMO, spreads are wider now because treasuries are overbought. Recently, treasuries improved while corps remained pretty stagnant, narrowing the spread. Of course, anything in bond land is hard to say for certain, as trading volumes, bid/ask spread and what not are nearly impossible to get.

I personally don't see how easing is going to help anyone, and would prefer a tightening. I think 50 basis points might be a good start. <g>
