nine lives

The URL below has futures contracts data for US & Global banks. It shows that collectively they hold 73.4% short futures contracts & 11.8% long contracts [shorts mostly held by non US banks - greater than for any other listed commodity]. For June 2008 [when the $Aud was approaching parity with the $US] the data read 17.3% short & 7.2% long!

Note the use of US dates [06/02/09 for June 2009]

LOL, perhaps global banks:
. hate Australia & the $Aud
. deserted the $Aud knowing something we don't
. think the $Aud will become worthless

IMO that data flags that something significant may happen to the $Aud.
