OI Points to Mix Of Short Setting & Long Cover In SOFR Futures On Wednesday

STIR

Yesterday’s downtick in SOFR futures and preliminary OI data points to a mix of net short sales and long cover through the blues as the market-implied pricing of Fed policy rates stuck within the recent ranges.

  • Spill over from moves in the longer end of global curves seemed to be the driver from the start of London trade, after Asia-Pac inflation data applied pressure.
  • Net pack OI movements were relatively insignificant.
  • Individual contracts also failed to provide meaningful net OI swings.
