Street Calls of the Week
Investing.com - Bank of America reported Monday that investor conviction in the short USD trade has dropped to its lowest level since Liberation Day, according to the bank’s latest market analysis.
The decline in conviction was not driven by concerns about USD positioning, which BofA noted remained "largely contained." This development aligns with the recent trend of USD shorts being reduced over the past month as overall USD sentiment has become less bearish.
BofA’s analysis revealed that investors continue to express worry about the market potentially underpricing debates surrounding Federal Reserve independence. Investors also showed concern about how such debates might impact the dollar’s performance.
Despite these underlying concerns about Fed independence, BofA indicated that investors are currently prioritizing other market issues rather than focusing on these potential dollar risks.
The bank’s report included multiple exhibits documenting these trends, with specific data points showing the shift in USD sentiment and positioning changes that have occurred in recent weeks.
