Based on the latest report by Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) investors have modified their positioning on the Euro but maintained the same for the rest of the currencies. The latest report reveals speculators positioning during decision of the FED to reduce monthly bond purchases to $65 billion. The Euro against the US dollar returned to negative territory as we see at Net Long/Short Positions chart. The Euro and the GBP show a negative weekly change due to outflow of capital from Europe towards US. However, the GBP maintains the highest Long/Short ratio.
