BONDS: Gilts Creeping Back Toward Shorts; OATs, BTPs Little Changed (2/2)
For non-German contracts, structural positioning remains flat/short:
- OAT: OAT remains in short structural positioning, having entered that territory after being "flat" for most of February. Last week's trade was indicative of long setting.
- GILT: Gilt structural positioning remains flat, where it has been the last 7 months, but is now as close to "short" as it's been since early January. Last week some some shorts set.
- BTP: BTP has now been flat since late January, though has ticked a little bit closer to "long" territory in the last week or so following some long-setting.
