OI Points To Mix Of Long Setting & Short Cover In SOFR Futures Following CPI
STIR
Yesterday’s soft CPI outcome and preliminary OI data point to net long setting in all packs outside of the greens, where net short cover was more prominent.
- The data triggered dovish Fed repricing, leaving a full 25bp cut discounted in Fed funds futures come the end of the September FOMC, while a little over 60bp of cuts are now priced through year end.
- While the risks to existing market positioning definitely lay with a ‘hawkish’ CPI print, the reaction to the much-softer-than-expected data reveals plenty of space to add longs if fundamentals permit.
