Therefore if we put the trade on at +9bps and we move to 0bps spread we lose (1bp of carry PLUS 9 bps of DV01) 10bps or $88,000 per 10MM. Therefore if we put the trade on at +9bps and we move to 19bps spread we make (-1bp of carry PLUS 10bps of DV01) 9bps or 79,200 per 10MM. Attached spreadsheet shows more details. This is a trade we would only do at +9. If we don't get there we don't do the trade.

On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 9:58 AM, Paul S Barrett Swap Spread Idea: (Target entry at +9bps; currently at +15bps; target exit at +25bps) • wrote: Currently the spread between the 10 year treasury (2.81%) and the 10 year swap (2.96%) is 15 BPs. This spread has widened from a historic low -5 BPs in early September. As shown in the 5 year chart below, spreads historically run around 40 BP. If we go back further, the chart tells the same story. With announced QE2, the economics of the 10 year treasury lead us to believe yields will likely remain capped while the swap market (represents the investor community) will be driven by economic data. If the Q4 consumer spending and profits numbers surprise to the upside, swaps would likely move higher relative to Treasury yields. To achieve this exposure we buy the 10 year treasury and pay fixed on a 10 year treasury swap. We would match the DVOls making us hedged for equal shifts in UST vs swaps. You would borrow 95% of the Treasury cost at Libor + 75bps.
