Speculators slowly return to dollar

Last week was very quiet in terms of changing the mood of speculators and ended on the eve of the publication of the minutes of the last FOMC meeting on 18 May, report analysts at Scotiabank.
The position of the euro and the yen barely changed, long positions in AUD fell slightly, while short positions in the pound rose slightly, they say.
The main favorites of the bulls and the bears remain respectively yen and pounds. The volume of net short positions in dollars fell.
We have to note that speculators reduced their net long positions in the Canadian dollar for the first time since late January, closing both long and short positions, which suggests uncertainty, remind analysts.
Long positions in AUD decline for the third consecutive week.
In the third week of the last four long positions in the yen have reduced and this is happening against the closure of both long and short positions.
Speculative positions in the Japanese currency continued to be in the zone of very high historical value, concluded from Scotiabank.

Bloomberg called the ruble best currency in the world for carry trade

Over the past three months the ruble has become a leader among the world currencies due to the recovery in oil prices. Because of this, the Russian currency has brought a 19-percent income to traders which make so-called "carry trade" transactions, in which investors borrow in countries with low interest rates and investing in the assets of the country, where interest rates are high (for example, borrow dollars to buy ruble assets). It is reported by Bloomberg.
Investors who are not afraid of the volatility of the Russian currency, have a great chance of getting the world's highest rate of return. Sergey Strigo, head of department of bonds of developing countries' from company Amundi, considers as a good investment Russian assets and stays to a "constructive" view on the ruble, reported Bloomberg. "To borrow in dollars to buy Russian bonds is a very attractive strategy," - said the investor.
