FOREX: Earlier Thursday, Bank of America noted that their "proprietary real
money flows Monday to Wednesday this week have turned bullish risk, showing
strong EUR demand against JPY and GBP. We find these flows surprising ahead of
the EU Summit today, in which expectation are relatively low. Very weak Eurozone
PMIs today also point to a severe recession. Our estimates suggest that the
market is somewhat long EUR and this position could be at risk. On the other
hand, hedge fund flows have been cautious. Monday to Wednesday this week, our
hedge fund clients bought USD and sold AUD, NZD and NOK. Both real money and
hedge funds sold NZD. Following mostly selling last week, our proprietary EM FX
flows have been somewhat more selective this week, although real money and hedge
funds moved in different direction in some cases. Both real money and hedge fund
flows have been supportive for THB. Flows have been particularly negative for
RUB, CNH, ARS, IDR and TWD."
