Speculators' Futures FX Positions

The weekly figures on traders' futures commitments obtained from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange's International Monetary Market shed valuable light on the developing flows pursuing one currency versus another.

Mr. Laidi,

Really sorry, but the inverted scale confused me a little...it's probably a stupid question.

Would you please clarify how one should decipher the Yen net longs/shorts chart? Does this chart say that net longs outnumber the shorts and Yen is slated for more weakness? USDJPY will go lower or higher?

Appreciate your comments.

Peggy.

Ashraf,

My heartiest wishes & congrats for successfully completing one year on this Forum. (I wanted to send you a card at CMC...but unfortunately, I had been away).

And what can I say that hasn't been said before you & this Forum...so I'll just say a simple 'thanks' (& the rest, ofcourse, you know...in what sight I hold you).

God Bless & keep the good work going... :)

Seal, the use of the word volatility in the VIX acronym is a bit misleading. Please see CBOE website and wickipedia for detailed expalanation on how it's calculated. But No, volatility proper, is not inherently more during falling markets.

Hi Ashraf,

I would like to know if the volatillity is higher on a bear market. If so, why?

Thanks a lot
