2026.07.3119:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Bearish Bets on Euro as CFTC Net Shorts Widen

Speculative sentiment toward the euro deteriorated further, with CFTC EUR speculative net positions falling to -72.4K, compared with -41.3K previously, according to the latest data updated on 31 July 2026.

The sharp increase in net short positions suggests that traders in the futures market have become more bearish on the single currency, significantly expanding their bets against the euro compared with the prior reading. This widening short stance underscores growing caution around Euro Zone assets, as market participants position for potential euro weakness in the near term.
