NOTE: The model had a 5-week hiatus due to glitch in data-sourcing that has now been resolved. Sorry for the disruption

Long-term bullish/bearish biases of currencies:
RUB overall bias turned neutral from bullish
GBP overall bias turned neutral from bearish
USD and EUR overall biases turn bearish
JPY overall bias remains bearish
The fresh bearish dollar signal is interesting in context of what has happened on U.S. rates; it’s important to note that U.S. real yields remain some of the most negative in the world, given the evolution on inflation expectations
