16.10.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Bearish Bets on Euro as Net Shorts Widen to -137.6K

Euro futures traders ramped up their bearish positions in the latest reporting week, with CFTC data showing a sharp increase in speculative net shorts on the euro. According to figures updated on 16 October 2026, net speculative positions on the EUR fell to -137.6K contracts, down from -99.3K previously.

The widening negative balance indicates that investors are increasingly positioning for further euro weakness against major counterparts. The move from -99.3K to -137.6K suggests a notable shift in sentiment, as more traders either added to short positions or reduced long exposure. Market participants will be watching upcoming Euro Zone data and policy signals closely to gauge whether this growing pessimism toward the single currency will persist or begin to unwind in the coming weeks.
