The record euro long position from last week was trimmed this week, but it still remains at a lofty level. This week the EURUSD did trend more to the downside. If it does continue, the longs may look to lighten up.

While the longs in the EUR remained high, the shorts in the JPY as remained at high levels. This week, the JPY is ending higher.

The CAD weakened this week. That is not good for the long position.

The other positions are limited and had limited changes in the positions vs. last week.
