Bond rally nearing an end?
- Thread starter gharghur2
- Start date
Was Reading the Bernanke - Bertiromo bashing on another thread. Guess nobody seems to realize today was the first up day for the Dollar since the friday before the G-7 meeting. No one has talked up the Dollar since then. It looks orchestrated to me.
Glad to see Big Ben is watching the markets as well as the #'s.

thanx for the reply mcurto. yes I am currently with Rand and Man. The reason I ask is that with ratios and 1:1 spreads I know the pit can get it done. But I haven't traded otm screens so I can't compare how the fills would be. Plus l'm lazy and I don't like legging so I generally spread it. I guess i'll give i a try.
No way to spread the electronic. Often the market will disappear on strikes > 80 deltas. I trade a lot of synthetic straddles in the ZB, but I wouldn't want to leg deltas on verticals in the e-cbot stuff.

Uncle Ben is sending DaVinci like code thru Bartaromo?
hold on to your wallet.............
sounds like it!
Dollars and bonds are falling in lockstep. How long can this continue? Bonds are getting more and more attractive with double speed from a rational point of view. Things looks coordinated though. How much power do the central planners have? Enough to throw the bond and dollar markets into irrationality. Is this what they want? Create enough fear to gain more control?

This reminds me of the FX markets in the last 80's - early 90's after G7 meetings.
Silliness by these latin american want to be populists will be tolerated - to a point. Thereafter, the apple cart will be upset and pretenders informed in no unsure terms who really runs the show.
I still maintain that the Eur/jpy cross is more important than we all think.
And I don't think the 30 year yields are likely to slow down rising anytime soon.
Bonds are in better shape today, looking at the inflation risk premium specifically. Could be the effect of Bernanke's controlled leak.
Because of additional factors such as higher commodity prices (including gold) and the possibility of policy changes triggered by the G-7 statements.
The real question then is why aren't commodity prices going down?
