BONDS: /MNI Europe Pi (Positioning Indicator): Very Long BTP, Very Short Bund:
There has been surprisingly little change in structural positioning across
EGB/Gilt futures contracts since our last biweekly update, despite a broad-based
increase in open interest (BTPs being the exception).
- GERMANY: Very little change in German structural positioning: the most notable
is for Bobl which has turned short from flat previously. Schatz positioning
remains long, and Bund and Buxl remain very short. All four German contracts saw
a 2-4% increase in OI since Jun 22, and all saw shorts set last week.
- OAT: Positioning has been pared to back to merely long (previously 'very
long'), with longs reduced last week.
- GILTS: Positioning remains short, where it has been for most of the past
month. Shorts were set last week.
- BTP: Positioning has been moving longer since late April, and is now very long
(vs merely 'long' previously). Despite a slight dip in open interest since Jun
22, further longs were set last week.
