Swiss Franc COT Report — Net Positioning

Swiss Franc futures · CME · CFTC contract code 092741

This positioning data may be out of date. The latest report we hold is from 6 October 2026 (16 days ago), but the CFTC publishes a new one every Friday. Treat the figures below as a snapshot of that date rather than current positioning, and check the CFTC release for the newest.

Latest positioning

-23,740 contracts net short — large speculators

Week ending 6 October 2026 · added 877 on the week · open interest 137,185 (+3,313)

Long 27,818 Short 51,558
35.0% long / 65.0% short

Reading this pair: The CFTC reports positioning in Swiss Franc futures, not USD/CHF. Speculators net long CHF corresponds to net short USD/CHF.

Net speculative position — last 52 weeks

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

The current reading sits in the 69th percentile of its 3-year range — over the past 3 years, the net position has been lower than it is now 69% 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 6 October 2026
CategoryNet positionWeek change
Large speculatorsFunds and managed money-23,740+877
CommercialsProducers, users and banks hedging physical exposure+37,286-2,854
Small tradersBelow the CFTC reporting threshold-13,546—

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.
