US TSY FUTURES: ### POV. Things are getting are getting very interesting in US
futures positioning.
- Asset managers have significantly upped their Ultra 30Y longs to the biggest
ever. Leveraged investors have taken some of the other side of this trade and
are massively short. Dealers have taken another portion of the short against the
asset manager's long in the ultra Bond. 
- Looking along the yield curve, asset managers have a sizeable eurodollar to
