OK Haim or anyone else that trades these things
Current Euro$ futures are:
Nov 2003 98.875
Dec 2003 98.875
Mar 2004 98.575
Jun 2004 98.240
Sep 2004 97.840
Dec 2004 97.385

Mauldin suggested there was a 1.75% implied interest rate hike by DEC 2004 but I see 98.875-97.385 or 1.490
Still - not gonna happen
Now - what else besides US short terms rates affeects this. I do not know. Europe ST rates? Japan rates? what else goes into Euro$.

There are lost of ways to play this
Long sept 2004 short june 2004 playing for the spread to narrow to zero
Long dec 2004 short june 2004 same
dec calls
dec bull spreads long dec 97.75 short dec 98.25

These prices sure look screwy
What has FNM done, if this indeed is FNM?
Now if FNM is overpaying for this leverage, it might not cause a blowup other than huge profits lost for FNM, is that correct?
