The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released its latest report on Canadian Dollar (CAD) net speculative positions, revealing a deeper dive into negative territory. As of December 9, 2025, the indicator fell to -159.5K, following a previous mark of -150.0K.
This recent downturn indicates an increase in bearish bets against the Canadian dollar by speculators, which may signal apprehension about Canada's near-term economic outlook or potential movements in interest rates. The ongoing negative trend could reflect global economic pressures influencing investor sentiment towards the CAD.
The data, reflecting growing pessimism, could prompt a re-evaluation of forecasts related to Canada's financial markets and economy. Analysts might anticipate further developments as market participants respond to this trend over the coming weeks. Traders and economists alike will closely monitor upcoming reports for signs of reversal or continuation in speculators' positioning on the Canadian dollar.
