FX.co ★ Speculators Boost Bullish Bets on Mexican Peso as Net Long Positions Edge Higher

Traders increased their bullish exposure to the Mexican peso in the latest reporting period, according to CFTC data updated on 15 May 2026. Speculative net positions in MXN rose to 64.1K contracts, up from 62.1K previously.

The uptick in net long positioning signals that market participants are maintaining, and modestly expanding, their positive view on the peso. While the increase is incremental, it suggests that speculative investors remain inclined toward MXN, potentially reflecting ongoing confidence in Mexico’s macroeconomic backdrop and relative yield appeal in global currency markets.
