FX Market Update - News flow and market developments have been fairly limited since Friday’s close, leaving markets generally quiet. Equities are flat, commodities are mixed, US yields are stable and the USD is modestly weaker. Most currencies are almost flat to Friday’s close. The only significant moves are a rally in CHF (up 0.7%) as it retraces some of last week’s losses and a weak NZD (down 1.1%) on the back of ongoing after shocks that are weighing on sentiment. CAD, GBP and AUD are each up 0.3%; while NOK, EUR, and JPY are all flat. There are no North American data releases expected today, which will leave comments from ECB President Trichet, the Fed’s Lacker and the ECB’s Draghi as the potential highlights. C.S.
Investors increase short exposure to USD - Last week’s CFTC data suggest that leading into the ECB decision investors were eager to be long EUR, doubling their exposure and bringing the net long position to $9.5bn. Investors also added to their JPY position, but did not significantly move the long yen position off recent levels. Most interesting was the cautious turn on CAD, which saw a more than doubling in the gross short position (see top chart), bringing the net long CAD position down to just $1.4bn and highlighting that for the first time since the winter investors are willing to short CAD.
