Reading this pair: The CFTC reports positioning in Canadian Dollar futures, not USD/CAD. Speculators net long CAD corresponds to net short USD/CAD.
Net speculative position — last 52 weeks
The current reading sits in the 47th percentile of its 3-year range — over the past 3 years, the net position has been lower than it is now 47% of the time. A high reading means the position is crowded by its own historical standards; it is context, not a forecast.
All three cohorts
| Category | Net position | Week change |
|---|---|---|
| Large speculatorsFunds and managed money | -90,163 | -11,492 |
| CommercialsProducers, users and banks hedging physical exposure | +103,502 | +13,938 |
| Small tradersBelow the CFTC reporting threshold | -13,339 | — |
The three cohorts net to zero between them — every long has a short on the other side. Commercials being heavily short is normal for a produced commodity and is not a bearish view; it is a hedge against inventory they already own.
