Well, we'll see if they overshoot this time. Another rate boost would not surprise me. (Might shock the daylights out of the carry trade). ----------- Speaking of which, the derivative crowd....carry trade....must figure in this. If I recall correctly, the big players like LTCM (may it rest in peace) made their money by selling the short paper and buying the long paper. Not so, or do I have the right scenario? This would help to narrow the yields and also would be a typical holiday play to improve numbers at the end of the year would it not?
