Speculative positioning in the Australian dollar has eased notably, with CFTC AUD net positions declining to 60.2K from a previous 85.6K, according to data updated on 29 May 2026. The reduction suggests that traders have scaled back their bullish exposure to the currency.
The drop in net positions indicates a moderation in optimism toward the Australian dollar, as some speculative investors likely closed or trimmed long positions. While the net figure remains positive, the shift underscores a more cautious stance in the market toward Australia’s currency compared with the prior reading.
