  • EUR 112K short versus 100K short last week.

With the hindsight of the Fed and GDP, it's clear that the market got ahead of itself in euro and GBP shorts. Those are some big positions.

On the other hand, the market has been betting on the yen for awhile and that continued to be a winner after a few weeks of pain.
