u r assuming a direct correlation.Its just years of propaganda determines yer preconceptions.. study eurodollar futures and learn about spreads and swaps. Then pretend you own a bank and have to sell paper, hedge interest rate risk etc. Makes more sense then but its very arcane stuff. hard to stay awake.

Hi t2, You make a good point. 10 treasury @ 4.21 off a spike to 4.62 last week or so AND 4.01 GOING BACK TO JUNE OF 03. With Fed funds usually following the bond market for rate changes the 7 1/4 point moves since last June haven't had a big impact. I guess it shows how below the market they were. This last rise appeared to get some traction - maybe they were looking for the hint. One would think the yield would go up - unless the market knows something. Wonder if the GM Ford bonds going to junk are having an influence. Let's face it huge chunk of commercial paper and bonds are going down the yield curve. Might just make treasuries look good where they are. I don't know - just been wondering also. Bob
