Hi,
Certainly no "claim to fame" on this stuff but ....
Bloomberg article I mentioned earlier post has a date/time stamp on it of:

I don't know when Wayne found the info.

Today's bar down started around 2am and continued right into the close pretty much. After 6 healthy "up days" I wonder if this wasn't just "in order" ??

I have some trouble with the thought that the "deep pockets" buying all these long bonds didn't have an "inkling that this was coming or at least 'highly likely' " ?? Trading volume just went " up, up, up all week" and maxed out with today's sell off.

Maybe I'm completely "Wrong" on the "highly likely" comment !!??

Anyway, Randolph, I suspect if the Tbond is going to "tank" as a result, then DX should "tank as well". If want to get a "heads up as to what may be coming on market open Sun. night, I watch DXY from about 4 or 5 on. It usually gives a pretty good clue as to how Dx is going to open, and from that you may be able to "infer" what may be coming on the Tbond.
