This is utterly amazing to me. Shouldn't the traders and "experts" have impounded this information into the price long ago? Isn't the market supposed to be a discounting mechanism?? This BTB data shouldn't come as a surprise, ESPECIALLY to the MM's! I'll never get over how the big guys overreact data which shows that these months are historically weak. I usually would not mind as a long-termer but I margined to the hilt today and am not looking forward to any margin calls.
