EUR Position Slides Further, Exposing Markets to Potential Squeeze

CFTC
  • EUR positioning faded further in the week-ending 2nd April, putting the net EUR position at new yearly lows of 2.5% of open interest. This keeps the EUR as the currency with the lowest Z-score among those surveyed, at -2.51 on a % of open interest basis. The report filing coincides with the bottom of the pullback into the Apr 2 session at 1.0725.
  • GBP and AUD positioning improved on the week, both by 2.5% of open interest, however the AUD position remains resolutely net short, while GBP remains net long. As such, while the AUD net position has improved, it remains only just above the largest net short on record, printed the prior week.
  • The USD Index net position has consolidated at lows, with outright position now short of 1,896 contracts, the lowest since 2021.
