FX.co ★ Speculative Bets Against Swiss Franc Ease Slightly, CFTC Data Shows

Traders trimmed their bearish positions on the Swiss franc in the latest reporting period, according to updated figures on CHF speculative net positions released on 09 October 2026.

Data show that net speculative positioning in the franc improved to -23.7K contracts, compared with -24.6K previously. While the gauge remains in negative territory, indicating that short positions still outweigh longs, the modest move suggests a slight easing in pessimism toward the Swiss currency.

The shift will be closely watched by market participants as an indicator of changing sentiment around Switzerland’s currency dynamics and broader global risk appetite.
