FX.co ★ Speculators Deepen Bearish Bets on Euro as Net Short Positions Widen

EUR speculative sentiment turned more negative in the latest CFTC data, with net positions in the euro sliding further into bearish territory. According to figures updated on 14 August 2026, EUR speculative net positions declined to -60.0K from a previous -58.1K.

The widening net short position suggests that market participants have modestly increased their bets against the single currency. While the move is not dramatic, it signals a continued lack of conviction in the euro’s near-term prospects among speculative traders, who remain positioned for potential further weakness in the Euro Zone’s currency.
