OI Points To Limited, Mixed Positioning Swings In SOFR Futures

STIR

SOFR futures were -1.0 to +1.0 at Wednesday’s settlement, with OI data pointing to a mix of net short setting, long setting and long cover.

  • We didn't see any particularly meaningful shifts in net pack positioning, with net long setting in SFRU4 providing the standout in individual contract terms,
  • Fed Funds futures were relatively steady on the day, continuing to point to a little over 100bp of cuts through the Dec FOMC.
