The Bond Market Association says it will monitor the potential New York transit strike closely, but so far anticipates that mortgage-backed security traders and other members will be able to operate during normal trading hours even if it occurs.The association said it has determined by surveying its New York-based membership that they will most likely be able to operate "in a normal or nearly normal manner" in the event the strike becomes a reality. However, the association said it would "modify its trading recommendation accordingly" if the strike turned out to have more of an impact on the bond market than expected.
