BUNDS: OI Points To Net Short Setting Across Curve After DFA Funding Plan

Jun-25 14:03

OI data points to net short setting across the German futures curve on Tuesday, as market participants reacted to the DFA’s Q3 funding plan and accompanying commentary.

  • Tuesday’s OI % increases for the major German FI futures contracts are outlined below, with Bund OI rising by a net ~45K lots:
  • Schatz OI: +0.2%
  • Bobl OI: +0.9%
  • Bund OI: +3.8%
  • Buxl OI: +3.2%
  • A reminder that our most recent Europe Positioning Indicator (Pi), released Monday, noted that positioning in German contracts was leaning "long" in April but there's been a decisive shift toward "short" in the time since. Most notably in Schatz, positioning has gone from "very long" in late May to one of two shorts in Europe Pi. The other short is in Bunds, which was "flat" previously.
  • Tuesday OI data points to an extension of that trend.
  • Bobl and Buxl positioning remained flat in our Pi update.
