05.06.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Boost Euro Bullish Bets as CFTC Net Longs Jump to 48.9K

Speculative positioning in the euro strengthened notably, with CFTC EUR net positions rising to 48.9K, up from 29.4K previously, according to data updated on 5 June 2026. The figures signal a clear increase in bullish sentiment toward the single currency among leveraged funds and other speculative traders.

The expansion in net long positions suggests that market participants are positioning for further euro appreciation against major counterparts, or at least a period of relative resilience for the Euro Zone currency. The shift may reflect evolving expectations around Euro Zone economic conditions, interest rate outlooks, or comparative performance versus other major economies.

While the data do not reveal the underlying drivers, the sharp move from 29.4K to 48.9K underscores growing confidence that the euro’s near-term trajectory could favor the upside, making speculative positioning an important gauge to watch in the coming weeks.
