FX.co ★ Speculators Boost Bullish Bets on Mexican Peso as CFTC Net Longs Climb to 77.4K

Speculative interest in the Mexican peso strengthened further, with CFTC MXN speculative net positions rising to 77.4K contracts, up from 70.9K previously, according to the latest data updated on 10 July 2026. The increase signals a growing net long stance among traders toward the peso.

The move suggests that market participants have become more constructive on Mexico’s currency compared with the prior reporting period. While the data do not explain the drivers behind the shift, the higher net long positioning underscores that speculative capital is leaning more heavily toward peso appreciation or continued resilience in the near term.
