Tough day...Wow... Glad it happened at the end of a great month.

I think that since the EC released its plan, something happened in Germany. There must be some heavy lobbying efforts in Frankfurt coupled with the ruling party realizing it would shut Frankfurt, Eurex and every international german desk. So that 's why they are kind of freezing the FTT for...

May-Jun @ 60 and Jun-Jul @ -6??? Take a look at the curve...Really weird. Somebody knows what's happening? PS: I know about the change in contract caracteristics between april and may. It's not what I am talking about...
