Question of rate hike surrounds how much, not if.
Its just like this Fed to shock bonds with 50bps
if it thinks Japan and Europe could withstand the
resulting US equity selloff.


Didn't you see that they said rate hike is good for I-nuts?

Thanks for surfacing and giving us your FWIW's and IDKJS's. :-)

Re: "Hedging activity alone can push the Sep futures

Am I looking at the correct chart? 114 seems a long way away.

I tried this calculation, too. $8/$114=7%. (Assuming that a bond with an $8 coupon would cost $114. Didn't you tell me that bond future quotes were based on an 8% coupon?)

Shoot, now I'm really mixed up.

Best wishes,

I2
