ASHRAF

i wasnnt expecting a treasury sell of that amplitude or any sell off at that level. not having the right for my ew and time lengh do u think we r in for a range trading for a while yet between 3.90 and 3.60 or are we gonna break up this level

any proposal would be that we r heading to 4percent yield after we see the break UP from this congestion.

Everybody, better know and learn who is a voter at this year's FOMC and who is NOT so you know the importance of these statements.

alperm, it s eems to me all of these economists predicting CNY revaluation as a way to pressure CHina. im more eager to predict +100 bps of chinese rate hikes this year than a 7 or 8% appreciation in its currency. But chinese are unlikely to tighten and revalue significantly.

we might see that currency war i.e. protectionism war between US and China

ALERT

Dollar rising across the board amid DEALER TALK of Fed DISCOUNT RATE HIKE TALK is pushing up USD.

RATIONALE: Discount rate now at 0.75%, which is 50 bps above Fed funds, well below the 100-bps spread prevailing before the beginning of the easing cycle (Aug 2007 discount rate cut).
Such reasoning helps address the question on why the Fed opted for an inter-meeting rate hike in February. The agenda of the Fed may have been to raise the discount rate by 25-bps in each of Feb, March and April (or June).

rim, NOT AT ALL.. not a rate hike in March. Fed hawkishness means withdraws liquidity and NOT raising the benchmark target of interest rates. as i said in most interviews Fed does NOT have to raise rates for the EFFECTIVE fed funds rate (NOT benchmark) to rise. Hawkishness is also in the Fed speaks.
