  • GERMANY: The standout move at the long end of the German curve since our last biweekly update was Buxl's shift back toward flat structural positioning, versus long for most of July/Aug. Bund maintains its long status. On the shorter end of the curve, Schatz positioning has edged back to flat vs short two weeks ago (and very short prior to that); Bobl remains in short territory.
  • OAT: Positioning remains flat for the third consecutive update, though is on the cusp of long territory.
  • GILT: Positioning has shifted from structurally short to flat since our last update.
  • BTP: Positioning has gone from short in our last update, to very short at present.
