No Real Theme In Friday’s SOFR Futures Positioning

STIR

The combination of Friday's twist steepening of the SOFR futures strip and preliminary OI data fails to reveal a real theme on the positioning front.

  • Participants had to assess the slightly softer-than-expected unrounded core PCE data, which was followed by some notable weakness in Tsys ahead of month-end, leaving Tsy yields higher on the day.
  • Dec ’24 FOMC-dated OIS saw a modest hawkish adjustment as the impact of the move in the long end outweighed the PCE data, showing ~40bp of cuts through year end vs. ~42.5bp late on Thursday.
