OI Points to Mix Of SONIA Short Setting & Long Cover On Wednesday

STIR

The combination of Wednesday's general theme of modest cheapening on the SONIA strip and OI data points to the following net positioning swings:

  • Whites: Hard to make any real inference given the unchanged price status of SFIZ3 on the day, with that contract essentially accounting for all of the net OI change in the pack as apparent modest net short setting and net long cover elsewhere virtually offset in net OI terms.
  • Reds: Net short setting was seemingly seen through most of the pack, with only apparent modest long cover in SFIH5 breaking that theme.
  • Greens: Light rounds of net short setting was seemingly seen across all contracts.
  • Blues: An apparent mix of modest short setting and long cover, with the former having greater impact in net pack OI terms.
  • There was little in the way of meaningful domestic inputs, which left some of the wider core global FI themes identified in detail elsewhere at the fore.
