Highlights:
- EUR shorts had the biggest change in week (increase of 12K to the short side).
- The EUR short 59K is the largest speculative position
- JPY shorts trimmed. I have to think that there might be more liquidation over the last few days on the back of the coronavirus.
Below is the history of the EUR. It has been negative since the 1st week of October 2018.
