OI Points To Mixed SOFR Positioning Swings Ahead Of CPI

STIR

The combination of Monday’s price action and preliminary OI data point to the following net positioning swings at the start of the week:

  • Whites: An apparent mix of long setting (SFRU3), short setting (SFRZ3), long cover (SFRH4) & short cover (SFRM4).
  • Reds: An apparent mix of short cover (SFRU4-SFRH5) and short setting {SFRM5), with the former dominating in net terms.
  • Greens: An apparent mix of modest long cover (SFRU5) and short setting (SFRZ5-M6), with the latter dominating in net terms.
  • Blues: A mix of short setting (SFRU6 & M7) & long cover (SFRZ6-H7), with the latter dominating in net terms.
  • The mix of positioning swings comes ahead of today's CPI release and after long setting dominated in recent weeks alongside the dovish Fed repricing (which has moved back from extremes).
