From our Europe Pi positioning indicator out earlier (PDF): 

• German contracts open 2025 in increasingly short structural positioning.
• Bobl remains the "shortest" contract at very short, while Buxl and Bund have shifted to short from flat previously. Schatz is now flat, but had been "long" in mid-Nov.
• Holiday period trade pointed to shorts being set.

RRP usage continues to recede, $208.296B this afternoon from $231.926 Monday. Compares to $98.356B on Friday, December 20 - the lowest level since mid-April 2021. The number of counterparties slips to 56 from 57.
