Leveraged Funds Cut Yen Shorts by 74,400 Contracts in Five Weeks After Japan's FX Intervention
AI مارکیٹ کا خلاصہ
CFTC data show leveraged funds rapidly covering JPY shorts, with net shorts cut by 74,400 over five weeks—an adjustment not seen since 2008. This positioning shift coincides with Japan's roughly $85B FX intervention (and reported US coordination), after USDJPY hit multi-decade extremes. Near-term market impact centers on reduced one-way USDJPY momentum, higher sensitivity to policy signaling, and potential volatility from further position unwind.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that The Kobeissi Letter said on X, citing CFTC data, that leveraged funds sharply pared back bearish bets on the Japanese yen in the five weeks through August 4. Net short positions fell by 74,400 contracts to 63,600, marking the largest reduction since the 2008 financial crisis.
By late June, leveraged funds held roughly 138,000 net short yen contracts, the highest level since 2007. During the subsequent market repricing, Japan's government bought about $85 billion worth of yen on July 30–31 to shore up the exchange rate. The move was the biggest two-day foreign exchange intervention since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster and the first coordinated operation between Japan and the United States in 15 years.
Before the intervention, the yen had weakened to its lowest level since 1986.
