Highlights:

  • CAD remains the only currency that is long versus the US dollar, but that long position was trimmed by 9K in the current week.
  • THe largest short position remains the EUR at 61K short.
  • AUD shorts remain relatively hefty at 45K (short trimmed 2K in the current week). Those shorts are not liking the rally in the AUD today.
  • NZD shorts increased by 1K. Those shorts are also not happy in trading today

The data which is normally released on Friday was the lead until today as a result of the holiday shortened week last week. Why it isn't known in near real time is beyond me.
