The dollar trade is hiding in the crosses.
Euro gross shorts jumped by 41,000. Aussie positioning fell to zero. Yet DXY positioning barely changed.

Oil rallied again—and the longs still didn’t show up.
WTI gross longs fell by 24,600, while Brent’s improvement came mainly from short covering.

Treasury large specs just made a violent curve rotation:

Natural gas positioning just hit 0 on the 3-year score.
Copper is at 94.
