- The latest IMM data covers the week from 18 to 25 November. The IMM data thereby covers the beginning of the rally in equities seen through the end of November.
- The largest change in speculative positions was seen in long JPY positions, which were increased by USD1.7bn to USD4.9bn. JPY net longs are now back to levels last seen in early October. JPY has strengthened significantly following the compilation of the latest IMM data, with USD/JPY falling to 93 from 97.
- Overall speculative positions were reduced slightly, but net positions remained unchanged in most currencies, as uncertainty remains high on the financial markets.
- Speculative investors remain net long USD against all currencies but JPY, with the largest net short positions seen in GBP and EUR.
- Net positions are broadly neutral in AUD, CAD, NZD and MXN.
- Bond market speculative investors sustained positions from last week with net shorts in 2-year notes and significant net longs in 10-year notes.
- On the energy market, speculative positions in oil are now neutral.

Before deciding to trade foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with foreign exchange trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
