Euro FX COT Report — Net Positioning

Euro FX futures · CME · CFTC contract code 099741

Latest positioning

-42,616 contracts net short — large speculators

Week ending 8 September 2026 · cut 17,691 on the week · open interest 942,464 (+77,052)

Long 198,509 Short 241,125
45.2% long / 54.8% short

Net speculative position — last 52 weeks

Sep 2025 Dashed line = flat (neither net long nor net short) Sep 2026

The current reading sits in the 11th percentile of its 3-year range — over the past 3 years, the net position has been lower than it is now 11% 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

Net positions by trader category, week ending 8 September 2026
CategoryNet positionWeek change
Large speculatorsFunds and managed money-42,616-17,691
CommercialsProducers, users and banks hedging physical exposure+6,730+15,457
Small tradersBelow the CFTC reporting threshold+35,886

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.
