Eurodollar Positioning Steals The Show In Latest CFTC CoT

US TSY FUTURES

TU, FV & US futures saw net short non-commercial exposure swell in the latest weekly CFTC CoT report which covered the week ending 22 June (capturing the post-FOMC adjustments), while TY positioning swung back into net short territory for the first time since early May. FV saw the most aggressive net positioning adjustment out of the major bond contracts, although the net short positioning registered across the board sits some way off the recent respective extremes witnessed in each contract.

  • Eurodollar positioning stole the show, with non-commercials extending their net shorts by ~539K contracts. Non-commercial net short positioning in Eurodollar futures is now at the most extreme since Feb '19 (in outright terms), but remains some way shy of the ~4mn net short position amassed at one point in '18. Non-commercials trimmed their net shorts in Fed Funds futures during the same week.
