Oil longs were also pared back to +77K from +101K. I don't understand how there are any only longs still in business at this point, so I find those numbers dubious. Yesterday, it was reveled by CNBC that crude 'god' Andy Hall's fund was down 35% last year.
For the yen, that's the first time the market has been net long since October 2012.
