OK, Thanks for the answer. Question: Anyone aware of ANY kind of OAS approach (Not necessary LOAS) as a tool to measure any potential arbitrage between the current CTD bond and the likelihood that the CTD will change? OR: Is this just a completely different thing?Related:Im aware of the deliverable options in the deliverable basket like:Yield Shift Option- Yield increases (strictly above 6%) leads to longer duration bondsYield Spread Option- Increased bond price (relative) leads to swapping CTD New Auction Option- New bond's can be issued (auction) that are cheaper to deliverWildcard Option- CBT closes at 2 pm, the short has until 8 pm to choose deliverable option.- Short to buy the bond tail short if the market dips, and sell long if the market rallies Switching Option- After the last day of the futures trading, the deliverer has the option to deliver another bondThanks,
