The Spec EUR Herd Falls Into The Trap, As 10 Year UST Longs Peak, Flattening Bets Reappear
The most recent CFTC Commitment of Traders report is out. As usual the most interesting data can be found in the FX spec update which does not disappoint. Just as we predicted, as the EUR surged over the past 14 days so did non-commercial net specs. The number which is through Tuesday, probably increased even as the EUR got hammered over the past 24 hours, dropping 250 pips in two days. Expect the usual piling out through the front door as specs bail once again. At that point the time to buy the EUR will come. Of the other two major pairs, the USD and the JPY, the Yen increased in long exposure while the Dollar saw the first decline in 8 weeks: just in time for the USD to jump once again.
Looking at the other interesting category, the distribution of appetite across the bond curve, we see the 5 Year net bullish sentiment decline for the first time from near record highs. The same with the 2 Year. Both of these were modestly offset by a substantial short covering at the long end, as speculators apparently bet modestly on a 2/30 and 5/30 flattening over the past week.
What is interesting is that the Net Interest in Nymex Natgas has jumped to a record. While not directly related at all to the recent shenanigans we exposed first with the berserk natgas algo, this is something to keep track of.

i'm long 'lies from leaders' from 400. i'm short 'objections from the plebes'.
Im long molotov cocktails.
Get a job.
Making cocktails?
Don't forget to go 3x short justice for wall street criminals
good call, but i hear there's tracking error. can i buy an ETN?
Dollar looks good here for a while. Not betting against it yet. Great charts Tyler. Thanks, as always. We are closing at the lows. Monday going to be interesting. And, if another PIGG blows up this weekend a rush to the worthless dollar will continue.
What a crock this all is but protect your capital if you do not short.
The USD may be trash, but the Euro smells even worst. The movements out the USD are speculators going to oversees markets. The carry trade will quickly reverse.
Break downs every where. Tough to keep up,.
Finally. Commence heavy drinking.
Too late.
uurrppp
You stopped? Heck, this is an awesome event for shorts.....celebratory drinking time.
Awesome only if you didn't have a trailing stop.
Haven't you learned that lesson by now?
At least a '+' resulted. Jumped into TZA afterwards.
Tracking error is only bad if held for 2 or more days - that I learned.
No stops got hit...yet. Prolly Monday? Dunno.
SPXU had a fine week though.
Just don't like shorting all that much. Have to get used to it or get out I guess.
Nothing like global risk aversion to let Beranklecide try and deftly tip toe out of the treasury auctions.
Treasury chart legend is cut off?
today was an absolute BLAST! I love days like this...MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!
"it was gorgeousness and gorgeousity made flesh..."
Is this good news for PM investors?
Of course, it's now more cheeper than Weiner! (bursts into song)
Jeepers, cheepers, where'd you get those Spys?
Weiner had an unfortunate shmelting accident.

itsy bitsy spyder climbed up the liquidity spout. Along came reality and washed the spyder out...
Itsy bitsy spider builds a web in the house closet only to be smashed by the levithan bullion as it drops from the big sky.
I can't remember, is Goldman positive or negative on the Euro? Or both?
NatGas very interesting indeed. Its been a dead asset since the crash, but some smart money believes after this summer is over it'll finally break out as the glut of supply is finally starting to go in the opposite direction of demand!
Interesting how net EUR spec positions should be USD supportive. Where in the world has ZEROHEDGE learnt this interpretation? Primary school? Maybe some members should go back to school - again ;=)
