USD Short Positions Hit 14-Year High

BlockBeatsBlockBeats2026/02/16 14:39

BlockBeats News, February 16th, the latest Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Sentiment Survey from Bank of America shows that the USD positioning in February has turned the most negative in over 14 years. The USD short position is currently at its highest level since January 2012 (the earliest available data point).


Managers' USD exposure has dropped below the low point in April last year. Concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve eased after President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh as Fed Chair, but this has not boosted USD demand or improved views on U.S. assets.


Respondents believe that further deterioration in the U.S. labor market is the key downside risk facing the USD.

House Speaker Mike Johnson said he had communicated with the President on this issue the previous night, but specific details have not yet been finalized, and it will take some time before the plan is implemented.
