This an opinion piece from a Reuters analyst and is worth checking out
He notes the building of long positions by hedge funds and says:
- During the four months from late April to late August, position changes were led by the liquidation of old long positions rather than the creation of fresh shorts.
- The last two weeks has seen that reversed, however, with the creation of new long positions leading the market higher.
Huh.
