US dollar net short bets rose to $9.4 billion from $8.84 against the major currencies during the previous week, according to the report of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) covering data up to August 22 released on Friday August 25. Dovish minutes of Federal Reserve’s meeting eroded expectations of another rate hike this year.
