Weekly Summary of Forex Trader Sentiment and Changes in Positioning
The US Dollar has surged across the board, and retail FX traders continue selling into gains. We view this as a contrarian signal the Greenback continues higher.
An important caveat is that an upcoming US Nonfarm Payrolls data release may produce important US Dollar volatility; last month we saw the USD reverse sharply higher as NFPs data surprised to the topside. Overall momentum should favor continued strength, but the weight of expectations is riding high ahead of the market-moving US data release.
