Euro FX

EUR/USD

 

Date 24/01/2012

Last extreme 31/10/2011

Total Open Interest 310,527

Net Marginal Change -5,107

Marginal Accumulation 183,471

Change in Total OI (%) 81.54

 

The Euro’s Open Interest dropped 5,107 transactions in Monday’s trading. Total Open Interest is still above 300K mark. Since the last decline Euro FX added total 81% of the total interest. This does not include a drop in December’s delivery. The last accumulation extreme in this market was in late September 2011 and accounted for 100%. We assume that this could be a pattern. We might come to the end of the interest cycle soon. The price action remains above 1.30 handle. As we still expect the price to correct, the long term bull trend is anticipated. We still hold 30% of the long position with the take profit 1.3070.

 

 

GBP FUTURES

GBP/USD

Date 24/01/2012

Last extreme 13/1/2012

Total Open Interest 190,954

Net Marginal Change -2,427

Marginal Accumulation -23,836

Change in Total OI (%) -11.2

 

A further drop in the British Pound open interest amounted to 2,427 transactions. Cable has been dropping for a few days now. As we mentioned last night, British Pound dropped over 9% since the beginning of the 2012. As expected GBP/USD is trading higher. We recommend to buy cable on pull backs.

 

YEN FUTURES

USD/JPY

Date 23/01/2012

Last extreme 27/12/2011

Total Open Interest 164,481

Net Marginal Change 573

Marginal Accumulation 34,979

Change in Total OI (%) 26.39

 

Yen futures increased another 2,978 in Friday’s session. Yen has now accumulated 34,979 or 26.39% new transactions. The price as expected spiked this afternoon. Given the COT sentiment and large change in the commercial short positions, we expect yen to weaken in coming sessions. Buy USD/JPY on dips.

 

 

FRANK FUTURES

USD/CHF

Date 24/01/2012

Last extreme 01/11/2011

Total Open Interest 40,062

Net Marginal Change -423

Marginal Accumulation 40,527

Change in Total OI (%) 142.74

 

Swissy’s futures interest remains flat. Traders decreased futures open interest by 423 positions. The rate of increase has been flat in over a week. The price of USD/CHF has fallen. We assume that the anticipated top is in place. Expect rebound to test the resistance. Only 10% decrease in open interest will give a reason to enter full short position. GFS recommends selling USD/CHF on rallies.

 

 

AUD FUTURES

AUD/USD

Date 24/01/2012

Last extreme 19/12/2011

Total Open Interest 138,991

Net Marginal Change -691

Marginal Accumulation 36,331

Change in Total OI (%) 25.23

 

The Australian dollar’s open interest dropped by 691 positions. This is a first decline in this market since the 5th Jan 2012. We assume uptrend as strong. Given the correlation between AUD and Gold, we expect a correction and further gains in the coming future.
