The change in net short dollar bets was mainly the result of significant increase in Pound bearish bets and decrease in bullish bets on yen and euro as German import prices recovery was slower than anticipated in May. The Pound, Canadian and Australian dollars maintained net short positions against the dollar. The bearish dollar bets fell as US Census Bureau reported durable goods orders rose above expected 15.8% over month in May and consumer spending climbed to a record 8.2% after tumbling in April. Chicago Fed President Charles Evans\u2019 comment the US economy may require more monetary stimulus didn\u2019t result in increase in dollar bearish bets.<\/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 30 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\">-1512<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>AUD<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bearish<\/td>\n<td>positive<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-201<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">132<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>EUR<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bullish<\/td>\n<td>positive<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">13893<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-2943<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>GBP<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bearish<\/td>\n<td>positive<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-1626<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-178<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>CHF<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bullish<\/td>\n<td>positive<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">572<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">381<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>JPY<\/b><\/td>\n<td>bullish<\/td>\n<td>positive<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">2763<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">-460<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Total<\/td>\n<td align=\"right\">13889<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifccd.net\/uploads\/image\/CFTC_NetShortLong_8July2020.jpg\" alt=\"commitment of traders net long short\" \/><\/center><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifccd.net\/uploads\/image\/CFTC_WeeklyChange_8July2020.jpg\" alt=\"commitment of traders weekly change\" \/><\/center><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ifccd.net\/uploads\/image\/CFTC_ShortLongRatio_8July2020.jpg\" alt=\"market sentiment ratio long short positions\" \/><\/center><\/p>\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.
