I saw it end yesterday at around 1272. I then went to sleep. Woke up to find it around 1265. Thought , just a retracement. About a hour later I check and find i've been stopped out and now short!! Apparently, margins have been raised on Italian bonds (the yield is well over 7% now on these).

I hear you. Damn, who is buying those bonds? Sooner or later they will be asked to take a haircut too

The bonds are being sold, hence the rise in yields.

Interesting AH action.

Would they do it before or after open ... that will be the question.
