The significant increase in Pound bearish bets as the Bank of England left interest rates unchanged at 0.1% but increased its bond buying by \u00a3100 billion ($125 billion) were offset by decrease in bearish bets on Canadian dollar and increase in yen bullish bets.

The Pound, Canadian and Australian dollars maintained net short positions against the dollar. The bearish dollar bets rose as US initial jobless claims rose above-expected 1.5 million the previous week while Chicago Fed\u2019s national activity index recovered in May &#8211; indicating expanding economy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"div_anotation\">\n<h2>CFTC Sentiment vs Exchange Rate<\/h2>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>June 23 2020<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Bias<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Ex RateTrend<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Position $ mln<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Weekly Change<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>CAD<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bearish<\/td>\n<td>negative<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-1538<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">344<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>AUD<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bearish<\/td>\n<td>negative<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-333<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">116<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>EUR<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bullish<\/td>\n<td>negative<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">16835<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">348<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>GBP<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bearish<\/td>\n<td>negative<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-1448<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-191<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>CHF<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bullish<\/td>\n<td>negative<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">192<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>JPY<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bullish<\/td>\n<td>negative<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">3223<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">648<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">16931<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>Market Analysis provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ifcmarkets.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">IFCMarkets<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Note:<br \/>\nThis overview has an informative and tutorial character and is published for free.
