The government returns to the 30 year bond, deficit spending shows no sign of easing and inverted yield curve returns to our vocabulary. These fundamental and political issues pose serious questions for traders and consumers alike. Will we return to classic economic thinking, which means higher Treasury yields and a possible recession? Or is worldwide excess savings large enough to keep rates under pressure? Will the NOB (Notes over Bonds) Spread offer new opportunities for trading financial futures? These topics will be discussed by a Karen Gibbs, one of the nation's most astute financial correspondents, well positioned to address the political and economic fall-outs and how they may affect financial futures markets. The program will be moderated by Larry Schneider, Director of Business Development for the Zaner Group.
