OI Points To Sizeable Net Long Setting During Thursday's Rally

US TSY FUTURES

OI data points to sizeable net long setting across the futures curve during Thursday’s risk-off rally.

  • Over $16mn of net OI DV01 equivalent was added across the curve, with the largest positioning swing coming in FV futures.
  • The combination of the recent run of apparent long setting, outright yield levels and degree of imminent Fed easing priced suggests that a “hawkish” NFP report presents the greatest risk to prevailing market positioning.
  • Furthermore, our preview of today's NFP release notes that "hurricane impact adds asymmetrical risk to reaction in payrolls surprises: a 20-30k miss could easily be faded whilst a beat would be an outright positive surprise. Revisions will be particularly important."
