OI Suggests Net Short Cover In SOFR Whites & Greens Dominated On Friday

STIR

Friday’s light rally in SOFR futures and preliminary OI data points to net short cover as the dominant pre-weekend positioning factor in the whites and greens. Meanwhile, modest net long setting was seen in the red and blue packs (in net pack terms).

  • A reminder that contracts across the strip finished comfortably shy of session highs, with rhetoric from both Israel and Iran seemingly playing down the odds of further imminent military action in light of the tepid Israeli response to the Iranian-led attack.
