jonathan: joining me around the
table is henry peabody.
and bloomberg's lisa abramowicz.
guys, it is great to catch up
with you.
henry, i want to begin with you.
why is so much of this happening
in europe at the front end?
we have seen volume explode,
intraday moves of some 20 basis
points on two years, why all of
that?
henry: there is a bit of a curve
flattening going on.
you see the risk coming out of
the front end of the market with
liquidity.
what has happened in europe?
you have seen fairly solid
improvement over the last
handful of years -- debt
sustainability, lower interest
cost, but they have not grown to
the degree the rest of the
continent has.
there is a reason for unrest
there.
the question is, how do you
decouple italy from europe, and
you do not.
that is the issue.
will it get worse before it gets
better, probably.
