OI Suggests Long Setting In SOFR Whites & Reds Dominated On Monday

STIR

The combination of yesterday’s twist flattening of the SOFR futures strip and preliminary OI data points to the following net positioning swings on Monday.

  • Whites: Net long cover in SFRH4 & M4 and net long setting in SFRZ4. Positioning movement in SFRU4 is clouded by the contract’s unchanged priced status come settlement, but we would point to net long setting in that contract if we had to guess.
  • Reds: Net long setting was seemingly seen in all contracts.
  • Greens & Blues: Rounds of net long setting and net short cover generally offset when it came to net pack OI movement.
  • Year-end FOMC-dated OIS was little changed on the day, showing about 35bp of cuts.
