Soros shorting Aussie Dollar...?


Not the first? 
The Australian dollar fell in evening trade on the back of rumours that billionaire US investor George Soros is betting the local currency will fall...The Aussie dollar slipped from $US1.0284 in late local trade to $US1.0253 in offshore trade as traders reacted to unconfirmed rumours that Mr Soros - who famously shorted the British pound back in 1992 - was planning a raid on the dollar ahead of Tuesday's interest rate announcement....
A large number trades shorting the dollar totalling $US1 billion were placed via Hong Kong and Singapore late Monday, believed to be by Soros Fund Management (here)
