The latest IMM data cover the week from April 16 to 23.
Stable positioning. Overall trades remain unchanged; trading accounts are long USD and short JPY, CAD and GBP.
AUD longs are scaled back. Net long AUD positions were reduced by 12% of open interest and are now back below the post 2000 average. Meanwhile, investors remain very long NZD, as AUD/NZD spot is testing its 2009 lows. Intra-commodity FX positioning remains fairly diverse with investors longing NZD and MXN, below average long AUD and very short CAD.
Some profit-taking in JPY. Net short JPY positions were reduced to 39% of open interest from 44%, in a week that saw the USD/JPY test but fail to break the 100 level. Notwithstanding, recent profit-taking in the market remains very short for the JPY, which as a result leaves risks from positioning skewed to the downside in the USD/JPY pai.
