US dollar net long bets <\/em> rose considerably to $27.06 billion from $23.84 billion against the major currencies<\/a> in one week ending February 19, according to the report of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). The dollar sentiment improved despite weaker than expected data such as reduction in retail sales over month in December when an increase was forecast, with similar pictures in manufacturing and import\/export prices for January.<\/p>\n
