Credit Agricole Research discusses the USD outlook and notes that since Friday’s better than expected US labor data, the USD was unable to continue appreciating.

“While such  price action could be indicative for the greenback being close to overbought territory  our FX positioning gauge is confirming such an assessment.

In fact, speculative oriented investors seem to have built the largest USD long position in several quarters.

In an environment, which stays characterized by intact uncertainty as when it comes to US politics, we believe  the risk for position squaring-related USD downside stays high,” CACIB argues.
