The 10yr often precedes the FFR. So, it gives a good indication on what's to come.

Used to be that the 30 yr bond was king - but then that seemed to shift to the 10 yr over the past decade or so. Just checked the open interest figures - and you are correct - the OI seems to be shifting to shorter terms. This is most likely tied to the inverted yield curve we now have. i.e. the 2 yr pays out more then longer term securities. Based on the figures below - looks like the 5 yr is now king. The 2 yr OI is roughly half that of the 5 or ten year.
