CFTC
- Friday's CFTC update showed the GBP net position among speculators was at a 52-week high, at 17.5% of open interest. Speculators added close to 9,000 contracts, pushing the 52-week Z-score to the highest of all currencies surveyed at 2.15.
- The uptick in GBP positioning coincided with a firm bull run for the currency, with the CFTC data collected on the same day that GBP/USD hit new multi-year highs of 1.4237.
- Markets also lifted CHF and, to a lesser extent, NZD and MXN.
- The JPY position worsened most notably, with a net 8,500 contracts sold, equivalent of 4.1% of open interest.
