FX.co ★ Speculators Deepen Net Short Positions in Swiss Franc, CFTC Data Shows

Net speculative positioning in the Swiss franc (CHF) turned more negative in the latest reporting week, according to updated data on CFTC CHF speculative net positions released on 13 February 2026.

The net position declined from -40.7K contracts previously to -42.3K contracts, indicating that traders have increased their overall short exposure to the Swiss currency. This widening net short stance suggests that market participants are becoming slightly more bearish on the CHF, or relatively more optimistic on counterpart currencies against the franc.

While the data do not reveal the underlying drivers, the shift in positioning will be closely watched by FX market participants as a potential signal of changing sentiment toward Switzerland’s currency in the weeks ahead.
