USD Net Longs Face Unwinding Risk Ahead of US Midterm Elections with ~$40B in Open Interest
English summary
ING analysts highlight that the biggest risk for USD on Friday is a preventive unwinding of net long positions ahead of midterm elections. CFTC data shows asset managers and non-commercial participants hold slightly under $40 billion in bullish USD bets. While prediction markets price high probabilities for a Democratic sweep, historical data indicates inconsistent impacts on USD direction, with short-term volatility driven primarily by position adjustments.
