Good Morning IQ,..Re:<< if ECI induces a sell off NAPM or unemployment will reverse the phenomenon why-- because strong economy means strong numbers and if profits keep coming interest rates direction will any way be nailed once the core inflation is shown as dead->>

You have an uncanny gift to be able to sort through the contorted reasoning of treasury traders. I see that you are on the mark and agree entirely. I will look to go long June 119calls or Sept. 121 calls once the ECI number is out of the way. June bonds have good support at 118^18 and 117^16.

A good article on rates going forward is from The Economeister, listed below, but he fails to take into consideration an important fact.
- projected budget surplus going forward thus decrease issue of US debt.

US Price Deceleration TO End In '98 - Economeister
This budget surplus (from higher tax receipts) should offset the upward pressure due to rising wages to keep rates in a range for the coming months, ceteris paribus, between 6.25% and 5.75%.

Thanks for your observations,
