Speculators increase bets against dollar in latest week-CFTC, Reuters Nov 1st 2013, 21:15 Share this Email Print Reprints Fri Nov 1, 2013 5:15pm EDT Nov 1 (Reuters) - Currency speculators raised their bets against the U.S. dollar, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission released on Friday and Reuters calculation. The value of the dollar's net short position was $3.64 billion in the week ended Oct. 22 compared with a net short position of $1.24 billion the previous week. The week of Oct. 8 was the first net short position since the week of Feb. 12. To be short a currency is to bet it will decline in value, while being long is a view its value will rise.
