OI Points To Mix Of Short Setting & Long Cover In SOFR Futures On Monday
STIR
The combination of preliminary OI data and yesterday’s weakness in SOFR futures reveals a couple of positioning swings that are worth highlighting:
- SFRM4 saw meaningful net long cover of ~30K contracts.
- SFRU4 through SFRZ5 seemed to see net short setting in all contracts.
- Fallout from the first round of the French elections and the potential for a second Presidential term for Donald Trump drove weakness in the long and U.S STIRs, quickly overpowering any bids that came on the back of the ISM manufacturing survey.
- There was little movement in near-term FOMC-dated OIS.
