OI Points To Mix Of Short Cover & Long Setting In SOFR Futures Following Friday's Data
STIR
The combination of Friday’s rally in most SOFR futures and preliminary OI data points to a mix of long setting and short cover across the strip.
- Still, only the whites saw a meaningful net positioning swing in net pack OI terms, as short cover seemed to dominate in the wake of the PCE and MNI Chicago PMI data.
- The data left ~36bp of ’24 cuts priced into FOMC-dated OIS as of Friday’s close vs. ~34bp the week prior.
- The Tsy space seemed to see further demand on the back of month-end related flows, helping underpin SOFR futures into the close.
