- "The latest IMM data covers the week August 10-17."
- "With risk aversion taking hold of financial markets again, speculative investors shunned positions in pro-cyclical currencies, seeking the defensive characteristics of the US dollar. Thus, US dollar shorts were reduced and long positions were added versus the euro, reflecting the collapse in EUR/USD following the downbeat FOMC statement."

Somewhat surprisingly, however, speculative investors added to long positions in the Australian dollar."
