Volatility will once again be the key word in the markets today, as a number of Stock options and futures expire. This volatility has already jostled Mortgage Bonds around quite a bit in the early hours of trading.
In other news, the auto industry finally received some relief, as President Bush announced a deal that will provide GM and Chrysler with $13.4 Billion worth of government loans in exchange for restructuring.
Currently, Bond prices are sitting just above an important level of support and may move higher due to market activity. Therefore, I recommend floating for now.
