Net shorts in two-, five-year US Treasury futures hit new record highs
Adds details, table
NEW YORK, Nov 8 (Reuters) -Speculators' net bearish bets on U.S. two- and five-year Treasury note futures hit new record highs in the week ending Nov. 5, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released on Friday.
Short positions on two-year Treasury futures rose to 1,486,359 contracts 1042601NNET, according to the CFTC's latest Commitments of Traders data, up from 1,479,361 contracts a week earlier. Net short bets on five-year note futures grew to 1,767,409 contracts from 1,680,471 1044601NNET the prior week.
The bearish bets piled up ahead of Tuesday's U.S. presidential election, in which Republican Donald Trump defeated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
In the weeks heading into the election, Trump's chances of regaining the White House had increased in online betting markets, spurring bearish bets in Treasuries as investors expect his policies to accelerate economic growth, as well as inflation and a widening of U.S. budget deficits.
Treasury yields, which move inversely to prices, surged this week after Trump's victory, with benchmark 10-year yields hitting an over four-month high of 4.479% on Wednesday. Two-year yields rose to an intraday high of 4.312% on Wednesday, their highest since the end of July.
Net bearish bets for longer-dated contracts, however, were trimmed in the latest week, with net short bets on the benchmark 10-year note futures 1043602NNET falling to 818,270 contracts from 901,183, CFTC data showed on Friday.
