FX speculators raise yen, euro, sterling bets
Sept 9 (Reuters) -Foreign exchange speculators have upped their bets on the yen, euro and pound, and reduced punts against the Australian and Canadian dollars, as the start of Federal Reserve's rate-cutting cycle looms.
CFTC data on FX positioning showed the net JPY long rose for a third consecutive week in the week ended Sept 3, as did the net EUR long and the net GBP long.
The net yen long now stands at 41,116 contracts, the net euro long 100,018 contracts - its highest since January - and the net GBP long at 108,078 contracts.
The CFTC data also showed the net AUD short position fell for a third week in a row to 7,864 contracts, with the net CAD short down for a fifth consecutive week to 68,544 contracts - its lowest since end-April.
Markets currently see a 25% chance of the Fed cutting rates by 50 basis points next week (Sept 18), with a 25 bps cut fully priced. FEDWATCH
