Now before the contingent that hasn’t passed currencies 101 yells “currency manipulation,” here a short primer. There is “currency manipulation,” there is “quantitative easing,” and there is “central bank intervention.” Just like with terrorists and freedom fighters, it depends on which side you are on. Maybe the Japanese should ask Bernanke on how to weaken a currency. He’s quite good at it at the moment. Recently, the stronger yen was a function of the weaker dollar.

How shall I know what will happening in 6 month ? :confused:

Ask me what will happen in the next 8 hours and I may take an informed "guess"...;=)

So what. Are you seriously going to base your decisions on the USD based on the COT report? Maybe for some commodities, but for USD? Look at the graph and tell me how it has any indicative value of where the currency is headed.
