2026.05.1519:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Bearish Bets on Loonie as Net CAD Shorts Widen

Speculative traders increased their bearish exposure to the Canadian dollar, with net short positions on the currency widening in the latest reporting period. According to the latest CFTC data updated on 15 May 2026, CAD speculative net positions slipped further into negative territory, moving from -14.7K to -16.2K contracts.

The shift indicates that market participants have grown more cautious on the loonie, adding to net short positions rather than paring them back. While the change is incremental, the move from -14.7K to -16.2K suggests a modest but clear strengthening of pessimistic sentiment toward Canada’s currency in the current market environment.
