Speculative positioning in the Swiss franc has turned slightly less bearish, according to the latest data on CFTC CHF speculative net positions released on 10 July 2026. Net positions improved to -37.4K from a previous -39.0K, indicating a modest reduction in short bets against the currency.

While sentiment toward the Swiss franc remains negative overall, the smaller net short position suggests some market participants may be scaling back expectations for further weakness. The move could reflect shifting views on Switzerland’s relative economic resilience or changing dynamics in global risk appetite, though the franc still sits firmly on the short side of speculative positioning.

Investors will be watching upcoming macroeconomic releases and central bank signals for clues on whether this tentative easing of bearish sentiment toward the Swiss franc continues or reverses in the weeks ahead.
