OI Points To Mix Of Short Cover & Long Setting During Friday's Rally
US TSY FUTURES
The combination of Friday’s rally in Tsy futures and preliminary OI data points to a mix of net short cover and long setting ahead of the weekend, with the former dominating in net OI DV01 equivalent curve terms.
- The apparent net long setting seen in TU and UXY futures was easily outweighed by the apparent net short cover seen elsewhere.
- A reminder that CFTC CoT positioning metrics continue to point to net short positioning in Tsy futures across the curve (as of Tuesday June 11), albeit skewed by basis trade positions.
- In terms of the drivers, the spill over from French political uncertainty dominated on Friday, underpinning Tsys. A very soft headline round of UoM sentiment readings also factored in.
