US TSY FUTURES: CFTC CoT Shows Funds & Asset Mangers Trimming Exposure

Sep-29 10:07

The latest CFTC CoT report pointed to relatively aggressive trimming of exposure in Tsy futures on the part of both asset managers and leveraged funds in the week ending September 23.

  • Asset managers trimmed net longs in all contracts outside of FV futures, adding modestly to longs in the latter. This meant that the cohort trimmed its curve-wide net long position by $13.6mln DV01 equivalent but remained net long in all contracts.
  • Leveraged funds covered net shorts in TU, FV & TY futures, while they added to shorts in UXY, US & WN futures at the margins. This meant that the cohort reduced their curve-wide net short exposure by $8.2mln DV01 equivalent but remained net short across the curve.
  • Meanwhile, broader non-commercial accounts trimmed net shorts in TU, UXY, US & WN futures, while they added to net shorts in FV & TY futures. The cohort remains net short across the curve (see table below for more granular detail on non-commercial positioning).
