OAT: OAT remains in "flat" structural positioning, where it has been for all of May after a spell in short territory in March/April. The most recent week's trade was indicative of long setting.
GILT: Gilt structural positioning remains "very long" into the roll, compared with "flat" where it spent most of the prior 7 months. The latest week saw some some shorts set.
BTP: BTP remains in its typical "long" territory. Trade indicative of short covering was seen in the most recent week.
