Bearish sentiment toward the Canadian dollar has intensified, with speculative traders further expanding their net short positions, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data. The CFTC CAD speculative net positions fell to -146.8K, down from -132.9K previously, signaling a deeper move into negative territory.
The widening of net short positions suggests that market participants are increasingly cautious or pessimistic about the outlook for the Canadian currency. The shift indicates growing expectations that the CAD could weaken further against its major peers.
The updated figures, released on 26 June 2026, will be closely watched by FX traders and analysts as they assess positioning dynamics and potential implications for future movements in the Canadian dollar.
