Speculative positioning in the Swiss franc showed a modest shift on 18 September 2026, as net short bets narrowed compared with the previous reading, according to the latest data on CFTC CHF speculative net positions.
The indicator moved from -30.0K to -29.0K, indicating that traders remain net short the Swiss currency but have slightly reduced their bearish exposure. While the change is incremental, it suggests a small pullback in pessimism toward the franc rather than a decisive turn in sentiment.
With the net position still firmly in negative territory, market participants continue to lean against the Swiss franc overall, but the softer short stance may signal growing caution among speculators about extending further downside bets at current levels.
