Example 23.9 (Lehman Brothers)
In the first stage, the highest bid, 10, met an offer of 10 and both were removed; the better seven of the remaining thirteen bids and offers averaged 9.804, rounded to 9.75. Requests to sell bonds totalled USD 5.69 billion and to buy USD 0.77 billion: an open interest of USD 4.92 billion to sell, capping the final price at 10.75. The dealer whose bid of 10 crossed, above the midpoint while the open interest was to sell, paid . In the second stage, 453 bids to buy were submitted, from 10.75 down to 0.125; bids at 8.625 or higher added up to the open interest, and the final price was 8.625 (Figure 23.4).
