OI Points To Net Long Setting In Most SOFR Futures Ahead Of CPI

STIR

The uptick in most SOFR futures and preliminary OI data points to net long setting in all packs through the blues on Wednesday.

  • Some pockets of net short cover were seen in individual contracts.
  • Fed funds futures were little changed on the day, showing just under 20bp of cuts through the September FOMC ~50bp of cuts through year end.
  • We still believe that a ‘hawkish’ CPI surprise presents the greatest risk to prevailing market positioning, raising the bar for dovish market interpretation of today’s data.
