Latest positioning data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) show that speculative traders have slightly increased their bearish stance on the Swiss franc. As of the update on 26 June 2026, CHF speculative net positions slipped to -41.1K, compared with -40.1K previously.

The move reflects a marginal expansion in net short positions, suggesting that market participants remain cautious on the Swiss currency. While the change is modest, the persistence of negative positioning may indicate ongoing expectations that the franc will underperform against its major counterparts in the near term. Traders and investors will now watch upcoming macroeconomic developments and central bank signals to see whether this bearish bias on the CHF intensifies or begins to unwind.
