Anyone else see those three big 25,000 lot stoxx sell clips go through? someone was buying the bund in similar clips at the same time... some big spead play going on?

Odd spread to sell stoxx and buy bund, no?

Directional · Nov 12, 2008, 11:41am

thats what i was thinking...! although very likely I didnt see half of what else they've put on. The first stoxx sell and bund buy went through at the exact same second, so its gotta be the same person/entity...

I never saw this, although i finished trading at cash close today. When did it happen arb on the MOC's?

Also how did it happen, somebody just wipe out @ market or reload a price?

I wasn't looking at the DOM or T&S when it happened, but on my chart the first stoxx down tick was at 16:30.43s and it looks like they swept the board... I'll try and post a screen grab a little later

Institution hedging a "move from equities into bonds" switch at a guess.
