AUD/USD IG CLIENT SENTIMENT OUTLOOK - BULLISH

We typically take a contrarian view to crowd sentiment, and the fact that shorts are overwhelming longs suggests AUD/USD may remain on an upward trajectory. Overall, traders betting against AUD/USD are rising compared to yesterday and last week, and the combination of current sentiment and recent changes in positioning gives us a stronger AUD/USD-bullish contrarian trading bias.
