2026.04.0319:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Net Short Bets on Swiss Franc as CFTC Positions Widen

Speculative traders increased their bearish exposure to the Swiss franc in the latest reporting period, with net short positions widening, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data released on 03 April 2026.

CFTC figures show CHF speculative net positions declined from -27.1K contracts previously to -29.9K contracts, indicating a larger net short stance against the Swiss currency. The shift suggests that market participants have become more cautious or pessimistic on the franc’s near‑term prospects, adding to already negative positioning.

The move deeper into negative territory may reflect ongoing positioning dynamics in global FX markets, with traders favoring other major currencies over the Swiss franc. Investors will be watching subsequent data to see whether this build‑up in short interest continues or begins to unwind in coming weeks.
