OI Points To Long Setting & Short Cover In SOFR Futures On Tues, Fresh Longs In U4 Dominate
STIR
The combination of yesterday's modest uptick in most SOFR futures and preliminary OI data point to a mix of net long setting and short cover through the blues.
- Long setting dominated in the whites and greens, while short cover dominated in the reds and blues (in net pack OI terms).
- Canadian CPI data and some focus on the less hawkish elements of the latest address from Fed Governor Waller facilitated the modest rally, with the move paring back from extremes in the second half of NY trade.
- Heavy screen buying in SFRU4 dominated on the flow side (~40K lifted during the time Waller was speaking), with the net OI change in that contract reflective of fresh longs being set.
