UPDATE 1-Speculators' net long bets on U.S. dollar rose in latest week -CFTC, Reuters

(Adds table, details, background) By Saqib Iqbal Ahmed NEW YORK, June 24 (Reuters) - Speculators' net long bets on the U.S. dollar rose in the latest week, according to calculations by Reuters and U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data released on Friday. The value of the net long dollar position was $15.69 billion for the week ended June 21. Last week, speculators' net long position stood at $14.17 billion. U.S. dollar positioning was derived from net contracts of International Monetary Market speculators in the Japanese yen, euro, British pound, Swiss franc, and Canadian and Australian dollars. In a wider measure of dollar positioning that includes net contracts on the New Zealand dollar, Mexican peso, Brazilian real and Russian rouble, the greenback posted a net long position of $15.50 billion, up from $14.31 billion a week earlier. The U.S. dollar has risen 9% against a basket of currencies this year, helped by a hawkish Federal Reserve and heightened geopolitical tensions that have boosted the greenback's safe-haven appeal. On Friday, the dollar slipped as traders dialed down bets on where interest rates may peak and brought forward their views on the timing of interest rate cuts to counter a possible recession.
