The squeeze on Canadian dollar shorts is one of the best examples in recent memory on the value of monitoring this report. The net short jumped to a record earlier this month even though USD/CAD had hardly moved. That left the trade in a vulnerable position and with USD/CAD now below 1.30, we can see the damage.
