Bank of America's investor flows tracker......>

FOREX
FOREX: Bank of America's investor flows tracker for Monday to Wednesday this
week "shows hedge funds selling EUR/JPY and EUR/USD. These flows agree with our
bearish EUR views. Hedge funds were selective in the rest of G10, buying NOK and
AUD, but selling GBP and CAD." They also note "real money buying USD and GBP,
primarily against CHF. Other real money G10 flows were relatively light, showing
some EUR and AUD selling and some NZD buying." Elsewhere, there was some
"differentiation, suggesting investors may have started focusing on
opportunities and relative value. Real money dominated flows, buying MYR and
HUF, against KRW, ILS and CNH. Hedge funds flows were light, buying TWD, SGD,
RUB and INR, against KRW, CNH and MXN. Our positioning analysis shows the market
being long EUR and CHF, and sort NZD and USD in G10. In EM, the market is long
PLN, RUB and CZK, and short ZAR, TWD and IDR. Although none of these positions
are stretched, further overall market volatility could trigger sharp FX moves."
