On December 12, 2025, the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) revealed a modest improvement in Canadian Dollar (CAD) speculative net positions. The current figures show that net positions have reached -149.1K, a slight recovery from the previous level of -159.5K.
This shift indicates a growing bullish sentiment among traders and investors regarding the Canadian Dollar, suggesting a decrease in net short positions. It reflects the ongoing dynamics in the Forex market where traders adjust their positions based on expectations of future exchange rate movements.
While the CAD is still in a net short position, the narrowing of the gap suggests potential optimism in the market regarding Canada’s economic outlook or changes in monetary policies. Such movements in speculative positions often have implications for the currency's future performance and can serve as a barometer for investors gauging the currency's future trajectory. As global market conditions continue to evolve, traders will be closely monitoring these figures for further shifts in sentiment.
