US dollar net long bets decline accelerated to $6.63 billion from $15.31 billion against the major currencies during the one week period, according to the report of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) covering data up to October 29 and released on Friday November 1. The sharp decline in dollar bullish bets occurred as weak economic reports painted mixed picture of economy: US budget deficit rose 26% over the fiscal year 2018 and new home construction and durable goods orders fell in September; House Price Index growth slowed to 0.2% on month in August when steady growth at 0.4% was expected, while initial jobless claims fell in the prior week.
