[Trend Funds Set Record Short Positions on Global Bonds, U.S. CPI Report Expected to Be Key to Profit and Loss] BlockBeats News, August 12, according to Bloomberg, data from UBS shows that commodity trading advisors (CTAs), which aim to profit from price trends across various asset classes, doubled their underweight bond positions in July compared to two weeks earlier. Since then, these bets have remained stable. If the upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) and Producer Price Index (PPI) reports drive Treasury prices higher, these CTA trades will face the risk of losses. According to strategist Nicolas Le Roux, ahead of the inflation data release, every 1 basis point move in the 10-year Treasury yield equates to approximately $300 million in profit or loss for CTAs, with exposure levels at their highest since UBS began compiling related data in 1990.
