Re: Eurex and Gilt rolls

arabianights started this thread I don't even know what's deliverable tbh, not something that's ever bothered me - usually as a very lazy person I just look at where settlements have previously been and then look at where the curve in general has moved to get a rough idea...

(And yes I do know how to work it out, but I think baby steps in trading respectably are the way forward...)

arabianights started this thread Or if anyone knows a way to get Reuters to do it without making a spreadsheet, that would be fine.

Googling to try and work out the above, I see that LIFFE are thinking of launching a short gilt...

Re: Eurex and Gilt rolls

would be good to have a short gilt contract. well good for market makers in gilts, less basis risk for the short end.
