The September 24 7-Year auction drew a foreign bid of just 57.2%, an F grade, while sentiment's elevated-indicator count doubled to 8 from 4 the prior week. Leveraged funds sit at a 4th percentile short in both the Swiss Franc and the E-mini Russell 2000, and the British Pound long sits at a 7th percentile, crowding both sides of the risk trade. The FOMC is 29 days out, on October 28. If the bid for duration keeps softening while positioning stays this one-sided, one catalyst unwinds all three.
