Speculative positioning in the Mexican peso (MXN) strengthened further, with net long contracts rising to 82.4K, up from 79.5K previously, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data released by the CFTC on 28 August 2026.

The increase in net long positions suggests that traders and investors are maintaining — and modestly expanding — their positive outlook on the peso. The move signals continued confidence in Mexico’s currency dynamics, with market participants positioning for potential further MXN appreciation or resilience against major counterparts.

While the data does not explain the drivers behind the shift, the steady build-up in net longs highlights the peso’s sustained appeal among speculative investors and its ongoing prominence in emerging-market FX positioning.
