OI Points To Net Short Cover As Dominant Positioning Swing On Tuesday
US TSY FUTURES
The combination of yesterday’s twist flattening of the Tsy futures curve and preliminary OI data points to the following net positioning swings on Tuesday:
- Net long cover: TU
- Net short cover: FV, TY, UXY & WN futures.
- Net long setting: US futures
- The apparent net short cover flagged above provided the dominant positioning move in net curve terms.
- A reminder that news flow was fairly muted on Tuesday, with a rally in European & UK bonds providing support ahead of the smooth passage of 3-Year Tsy supply. Tsys then faded from session highs into the close.
- More boradly, net shorts have seemingly been pared in the time since Friday's NFP release.
