Dollar net short bets inch up despite better than expected ISM report
US dollar net short bets edged up again to $30.58 billion from $30.41 billion against the major currencies during the one week period, according to the report of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) covering data up to January 5 and released on January 8. The deterioration in dollar sentiment continued as increases in bullish bets on Japanese yen, Australian dollar and euro were bigger than declines in bullish bets on Swiss franc, Pound and Canadian dollar. The increase in dollar bearish bests continued as US goods trade deficit rose to $84.8 billion in November from 80.4 billion in October, when an increase to 81.5 billion was expected, while the expansion in economic activity in US accelerated in December according to Institute for Supply Management report saying the ISM Manufacturing PMI rose to 60.7 from 57.5 in November instead of a decline to 56.6 as forecast.
