It's the same chart - mine was yesterday!.The more recent TG30 chart might suggest it hit a trough in September, and is now climbing out.
It does depend what time frame you use, especially if you're trying confirm a bias.
Same chart again:
The dotty line is pretty much parallel to the CSH2 line , so it would be a wash over that period barring the tax aspect. It would be of slight benefit to set a limit order to catch a dip. Spreads are quite narrow.
But why the dip in September? Well that did coincide with anticipation of the FED upping their rate. Big money can invest anywhere.
Or, it could be said, it coincided with the B of E hiking the rate next week, rather early.
The expected dip works out to be roughly
-(duration x change in yield), so if d were 3.85 years and Δ is 0.25% (..other things cancel out)
that predicts 0.96%.
If it's all factored in already then we may see little or nothing. It's November 5th
But so it could be prudent to hold any proposed swap over from CSH2, for a few days.
Or, if Bailey DOESN'T make the rate rise, then the price could rise.
The price isn't just calculated by a bot, it's manipulated by evil suits.
Probably with bowler hats.
