CFTC data reveal liquidation of JPY longs
"Domestic releases have been limited and yield spreads remain steady, offering little in terms of fundamental drivers. The market tone is also lacking in terms of clarity, suggesting that the latest pullback in JPY is likely to be driven by market positioning."
