OI Suggests Net Long Setting Dominated In SOFR Futures Following NFPS
STIR
Friday’s rally in SOFR futures and preliminary OI data points to net long setting dominating in the wake of the NFP report, although pockets of net short cover were also seen.
- This allowed the net long setting theme in play since Chair Powell’s Tuesday comments to extend further, with the ‘dovish’ elements of the release rounding out a week of relatively soft U.S. data.
- That run of data saw FOMC-dated move from pricing ~44bp of ’24 cuts late on June 28 to ~51bp of cuts late on July 5.
