OI Indicates Mix Of Short Setting & Long Cover In Futures On Friday

EURIBOR

The combination of Friday's move lower in Euribor futures through the blues and OI data point to the following positioning swings ahead of the weekend:

  • Whites: Long cover was seemingly seen in all contracts outside of apparent short setting in ERM4, leaving the former as the dominant net pack positioning factor.
  • Reds: Short setting was seemingly seen across all contracts.
  • Greens: Long cover was seemingly seen in all contracts outside of apparent net short setting in ERU6, leaving the former as the dominant net pack positioning factor.
  • Blues: Some very modest rounds of net short setting and net long cover essentially offset in net pack terms.
  • The apparent net long cover in the whites provided the most meaningful net pack OI swing.
