• On my side,
  • I have exited my short ZAR trade as Turkey is stabilising. I maintain my short dollar trade (vs EUR, JPY, CNH), long gold, long CE-3, long USD/INR, long AUD/NZD and US 10s30s steepeners.
• Elsewhere in our survey,
  • One participant exited their China casino/gaming trades.
  • The same person also halved their long CNH position to half. They don’t think exporters will like it below 6.90.
• By asset class, the most popular longs are commodities (esp gold) and EM FX.
