The AUD remains the largest short in the G10 FX after new selling interest last week, predominantly driven by IMM flows. Our FX flow data points at banks and corporates inflows, as well as hedge funds and real money investors outflows. All in all, the AUD is in oversold territory.

Largest short in history, actually. Pretty hard pushing lower through that.
