Mortgage News You Can Use US rate futures climb as Greenspan urges patience
NEW YORK, Feb 11 (Reuters) - U.S. interest rate futures rallied on Wednesday after Federal Reserve chief Alan Greenspan ( News ) reiterated the central bank's scope for keeping rates low, leading investors to push out the timing of the first tightening. In his semi-annual testimony to Congress on the economy, Greenspan said the Fed could remain patient in tightening monetary policy, even though the U.S. economy was headed toward vigorous growth. Eurodollar futures (O#ED:), which reflect the market's expectations on the size and timing of the next move in interest rates, were pricing in rates at 1.56 percent by September this year, down from 1.61 percent before Greenspan spoke. June eurodollars (EDM4) were pricing in rates just below 1.30 percent, compared with 1.33 percent earlier. The two-year Treasury note (US2YT=RR), the most sensitive to investor sentiment on monetary policy, rose 4/32 in price to yield 1.76 percent, against 1.81 percent on Tuesday.
