<li>Welcome back to our weekly positioning article, where we as always take you through the positioning data that we have found relevant throughout the week.</li>
<li>The central bank week is over, and what a week it has been with the quite shocking decision from BoJ yesterday, moving the YCC upper band from 0.5% to 1%, increasing the flexibility of their monetary policy since they effectively now have more room to play with, and they don’t have to buy as many bonds as they do now to keep yields under control – unless yields rise to &gt;1%.</li>
<li>In the West, the Fed and ECB delivered right as expected with a 25 bps hike each, despite inflation coming down FAST both in the US and EZ – it sure looks like they want to be sure that inflation gets down to target.</li>

Technical Analysis

<ul>
<li>Bias/Focus: AUD short (and NZD), Euro maturing wedge. USD/JPY long from 130 (policy push). USD/ZAR bull. Sterling long from 1.2450 gaining traction.</li>
<li>Commodity currencies and the USD/JPY have been our USD positive bets hidden within the DXY slide. Within EM, USD/ZAR is out top USD long theme. </li>
<li>The USD/KRW has been the weak performer within Asia outlined some fairly clear USD divisions. USD/SGD macro support at 1.32/31 is compelling.</li>
