Bank of America (BofA) disclosed that the U.S. dollar (USD) long positions have remained near their recent peak levels. Last week, proprietary USD flows were light, with market attention initially on U.S. exceptionalism before turning to concerns over increasing tariff risks and weak economic data from the Euro area.

According to BofA, despite fluctuations in market focus, the positioning data indicates that USD longs are still very significant. These positions are reportedly almost at the same high levels seen after the end of the third quarter, suggesting sustained confidence among investors in the strength of the USD.

The shift in market focus from U.S. domestic strengths to broader international concerns, such as rising tariffs and the Euro area's economic performance, reflects the dynamic nature of currency markets. These factors have the potential to influence the USD's value and investor strategies.

The bank's proprietary flow data serves as an indicator of how investors are positioning themselves in the currency market. It is derived from the bank's internal transactions and provides insights into the broader sentiment and strategic approaches being taken by market participants.

BofA's report on USD positioning is an important piece of information for investors and analysts who track currency movements and look for signs of potential shifts in market dynamics. It highlights the importance of monitoring a range of economic indicators and geopolitical developments that can impact currency valuations.
