(and Hates the Dollar)
Super bullish yen views and bearish US dollar views are the standouts in both my Buy-Side Sentiment tracker last week and also in CFTC positions tracked by my FX Sentiment Heatmap (see below)
Yen long positions are at or near record highs across several CFTC categories.
It’s not surprising the yen is so popular. It comes out as undervalued on longer-term measures like the real effective exchange rate, inflation is picking up and a US trade deal may be easier than for other countries.
