28.08.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Trim Bearish Bets on Swiss Franc as Net Shorts Narrow

Speculative positioning in the Swiss franc has turned less negative, with the latest CFTC data showing a notable reduction in net short positions. According to figures updated on 28 August 2026, CHF speculative net positions improved to -19.9K contracts, compared with -27.3K previously.

The shift suggests that market participants are scaling back their bearish stance on the Swiss currency. While positioning remains in net short territory, the move toward a smaller negative balance may reflect changing expectations around Switzerland’s macroeconomic outlook, interest rate dynamics, or broader risk sentiment in global FX markets.

Traders and investors will be watching upcoming data releases and central bank communications for clues as to whether this trend continues, potentially signaling a further reassessment of the Swiss franc’s role as a defensive asset in the current environment.
