US TSY FUTURES: CFTC CoT Shows Hedge Funds Trimming Long End Shorts

US TSY FUTURES

The latest CFTC CoT report showed hedge funds covering shorts in the long end (UXY through WN futures) as well as in FV futures, while they added to shorts in TU & TY futures. The cover further out the curve provided a more meaningful positioning swing (in DV01 equivalent terms). The cohort remains net short across all contracts.

  • Asset manager positioning saw a mix of net longs being added to (TY, UXY & WN) and trimmed (TU, FV & US). The cohort remains net long across all contracts.
  • Broader non-commercial net positioning saw a mix of net shorts being added to and trimmed. The cohort remains net short across all contracts.
