US VIEW: FTN's Jim Vogel said that "with expectations about the Fed's hike much
more confident after the September labor numbers, next week's FOMC minutes won't
be traded that closely. Instead the honor of the most important news falls

concentrate solely on short-term rate policy, believing longer rates will follow
in the same direction. Historically, though, that hasn't been true for two
decades, so strategy has to consider the impact of debt leverage as well.
Unfortunately, leverage is still going in the opposite direction of expected
path for the target rate. Leverage usually wins out to keep rates stable, but
the article introduces the complexities of THE argument of 2019."
