OI Suggests Net Long Setting Dominated On Wednesday As CPI Outweighed FOMC

US TSY FUTURES

The combination of yesterday’s rally in Tsys and preliminary OI data points to a mix of net long setting and short cover across the curve, as the impact of the softer-than-expected CPI data outweighed the reaction to the hawkish adjustments in the Fed’s updated dot plot.

  • Net long setting was most prominent in TY futures, while only WN futures seemed to be subjected to net short cover.
  • That left over $8mn of net OI DV01 equivalent added across the curve on Wednesday.
  • Ahead of the risk events we noted that a net dovish outcome probably provided the greatest risk to markets, with positioning in futures biased short (albeit skewed by basis trades) and relatively neutral cash positioning levels observed (based on the J.P.Morgan client survey). Perceptions in the wake of the ISM services survey and NFP report also factored into our opinion.
