Highlights:

  • EUR longs remain as the largest speculative position (the EURUSD reached the highest level since April 2018 this week
  • JPY longs are the next largest position at 48K.  
  • The largest short position in the CAD.  Traders are on the wrong side of that trade with the loonie ticking below the October 2018 low at 1.27819 today after a stronger jobs report. The 5th straight week of crude oil price gains has also benefited the CAD
  • Shorts in AUD, GBP are also the wrong direction as both traded to multi year highs this week.
