FAQPage Schema

How do I identify the cheapest-to-deliver bond for a futures contract?▼

Bond futures basis represents the difference between the futures price and the underlying bond price. This skill evaluates basis by calculating the implied repo rate and comparing it against yield curves to uncover delivery option value.

How do I calculate the implied repo rate for basis trading?▼

You calculate the implied repo rate by comparing the bond futures price to the underlying deliverable bond price. This skill computes net basis and carry to derive the implied repo rate for basis trading opportunities.

Do I need Mastra tools to analyze bond futures basis?▼

Yes, Mastra tools are required. The skill depends on Mastra's bond pricing and yield curve tools to calculate fair prices, identify the cheapest-to-deliver bond, and evaluate basis trading opportunities.

Can I incorporate yield curve analysis into bond futures pricing?▼

Yes, yield curve analysis is integrated. The skill incorporates yield curve data to contextualize implied repo rates and assess basis trading opportunities against historical pricing trends and credit spreads.

What is the best way to track bond basis trends and volatility over time?▼

The best way to track bond basis trends is by using historical pricing data. This skill tracks basis volatility over time and optionally applies credit spread curves to evaluate credit-driven basis distortions.
