OI Shows Little Movement In Net Positioning On Friday

US TSY FUTURES

OI data suggests that net positioning movement was light on Friday, with a combination of modest long cover and short setting seen across Tsy futures contracts.

  • There was a light bias towards net short setting as firmer-than-expected flash PMI readings out of the U.S. ultimately outweighed softer-than-expected Eurozone equivalents.
  • Some of the faster money-type accounts may have been forced to cover intraday longs set in the wake of the Eurozone PMIs.
  • The first couple of days of last week saw a skew towards net long setting, before long cover moved to the fore on Thursday.
  • Tsy futures positioning seems to remain net short overall, albeit skewed by basis trade positioning.
  • The latest CFTC CoT report (covering the period through June 18) will be released later today, with last week’s holiday delaying the release, as is the norm.
