Just got a phone call. The bonds "have arrived." The OpTwist target of 2.75 for the long end of the US curve is reached. So the top formation I saw an hour ago might actually have been it.

The bad news, though, is the bonds will likely now decouple from EUR and any other risk assets. They might not be a good trend market after today.
Can you expand on that? BTW. Credit Suisse US 10y to yield 1.6% and 30y at 2.5% by year end (source: twitter so)

How does the "decoupling" technically work, OQ?
Just a generic term. In the last six weeks or so, the bond futures prices have been very highly inversely correlated with the EUR, for example. If the price is subject to a constraint, then its correlation with something not subject to that constraint becomes weak or vanishes completely.

Of late, the AUD/HG "couple" has been very tight. But I look for it to break shortly as well, as the markets calm and the reality re-emerges that the value of a nation's currency does not equal the current price of one of its products.

I was told that the FED's target rate for the long end of the yield curve is 2.75. If that is true, then it would work like the Swiss peg: the yield could float lower, but the "put" would not be in effect. Higher rates/lower prices would be subject to FED purchase under OpTwist.

Well, I still sometimes dream of owning three boxcars full of two by fours. Others want Aston Martins, I'm more easily satisfied.

Only the 3:45PM can "save" us from panic. Markets collapsing at the close.

Sisse, here's an example of what I meant earlier about falling knife catching and not full capitulation. The last line here is BAC. Look at that bid size at 6.00.
