OI Suggests Long Setting Dominated On Monday
US TSY FUTURES
Yesterday's uptick in Tsy futures and preliminary OI data points to a mix of net long setting (FV, TY, US & WN) and net short cover (TU & UXY), with the former dominating in net curve terms.
- The largest net long setting (in DV01 equivalent terms) seemed to come in WN futures.
- A reminder that an uptick in the New York Fed's short-run inflation expectations metric helped trim the early rally, with subsequent block sales also factoring in.
- Impending inflation data presents the immediate tier 1 risk events for Tsys, with futures positioning still skewed short across the curve (although there will be some influence from basis trade positions evident there).
- It is also worth flagging that net shorts have pared back from recent extremes, presenting a little more two-way event risk than was evident ahead of the most recent NFP release.
- Expect our full CPI preview to be published over the next couple of hours.
