FX.co ★ Euro Bulls Build Momentum as CFTC EUR Net Long Positions Climb to 163.4K

Speculative positioning in the euro strengthened further, with CFTC EUR net positions rising to 163.4K, up from the previous 132.1K, according to the latest data updated on 06 February 2026. The increase signals growing bullish sentiment toward the single currency among leveraged funds and other speculative traders.

The expansion of net long positions suggests that market participants are positioning for a stronger euro against its counterparts, potentially reflecting shifting expectations around Euro Zone fundamentals, relative interest rate dynamics, or global risk appetite. While the data do not explain the drivers behind the move, the continued build-up in long exposure underscores that investors, on balance, are leaning more positively toward the euro than in the prior reporting period.
