  • GERMANY: The standout move in Germany over the past few weeks has been in Buxl, drifting from long to flat, with shorts set last week. The other 3 German contracts saw longs set last week. At the short end, Schatz is little changed, in short territory. Bobl remains long, while Bund has come back a bit to long vs very long previously.
  • OAT: Positioning has moved back from short territory to flat, with longs set last week.
  • GILT: Positioning is long, though off the longest levels seen in Aug-Sep. Last week saw a reduction in longs.
  • BTP: Positioning has returned to very long positioning, where it spent much of the summer - further longs were set last week.
