MARKET TALK: *** Following reversal in equities (41,000 eminis/$6B notional sold
over 3 minute period, triggering stops on way off 2851 lvl down to 2836.0)
traders cited chatter of a "botched" market on close order out of London.
Others, however, note Business Insider story w/headline that "US stealth bombers

Details of story are unconfirmed but timing of release coincided with sell-off
in equities, traders said. Tsys still trading lower/off lows, however -- no
risk-off flight to quality bid for rates if story were true.
