OI Points To Mix OF Short Setting & Long Cover In SOFR Futures On Wednesday

STIR

The combination of yesterday's move lower across the SOFR strip and preliminary OI data point to the following positioning swings on Wednesday:

  • Whites: Apparent net long cover in SFRH4 comfortably dominated form a net pack perspective, even with all other contracts in the pack seemingly subjected to net short setting.
  • Reds: Only what seemed to be apparent net short setting in SFRZ4 broke the wider theme of net long cover in the pack, with the latter dominating in net pack terms.
  • Greens: Only what seemed to be apparent (modest) net short setting in SFRU6 broke the wider theme of net long cover in the pack, with the latter dominating in net pack terms.
  • Blues: A mix of apparent net short setting (SFRZ6 & M7) and long cover (SFRH7 & U7), with the former dominating in net pack terms.
