OI Points To Mixed Positioning Swings In SOFR on Tuesday

STIR

The combination of yesterday’s price action and preliminary OI data point to the following net positioning swings on the SOFR strip:

  • Short cover was seemingly seen in SFRM3-Z3, while SFRH4 seemingly saw fresh shorts added. The former dominated the latter when it came to net impact.
  • The reds seemed to see a mix of fresh shorts added and long cover, with the former dominating.
  • Net OI in the greens was essentially unchanged, with any short setting being offset by long cover.
  • The blues saw a mix of positioning swings, with the unchanged nature of SFRU6 in price terms muddying any inference re: net positioning swings in that pack.
