  • GERMANY: Futures remain mostly in short positioning. Bobl remains very short, joined by Schatz since our last biweekly update (had been merely ""short""). Buxl has shifted to short from flat. The key move has been in Bund which has flipped from short to flat, for the first time since early April. Apart from Schatz which saw longs set, German contracts saw short cover last week.
  • OAT: Positioning has stabilised in short territory after moving sharply away from flat territory a few weeks ago. Longs were set last week.
  • GILT: Structural positioning has moved out of short territory back to flat, where it was a month ago. Longs were set last week.
  • BTP: Structural positioning remains flat for our 2nd consecutive update, contrasting with shorts in the 1st half of 2022. Some short covering was seen last week.
