  • Price the Future: Call bond_future_price with the contract RIC. Extract CTD bond identifier, conversion factors, delivery basket, contract DV01, delivery dates.
  • Price the CTD Bond: Call bond_price for the CTD identified in step 1. Extract clean/dirty price, yield, duration, DV01.
  • Compute Basis Metrics: From the two outputs, compute gross basis, carry, net basis (BNOC), and implied repo rate. Compare implied repo to market short-term rate.
  • Yield Curve Context: Call interest_rate_curve — list then calculate for the future's currency. Use short-end rate as repo proxy for the implied repo comparison.
  • Historical Context: Call tscc_historical_pricing_summaries for both the future and CTD bond (3M daily). Assess basis trend, volatility, and current percentile.
  • Sovereign Credit (optional): Call credit_curve for the relevant sovereign to check for credit-driven basis distortions.
