Speculative sentiment toward the euro has turned notably more negative, with the latest CFTC data showing a sharp increase in net short positions. According to the figures updated on 11 September 2026, EUR speculative net positions in the Euro Zone have deteriorated from -24.9K to -42.6K.

The widening net short stance suggests that traders and investors have become more bearish on the single currency compared with the previous reporting period. The move from -24.9K to -42.6K indicates a stronger conviction among speculators that the euro may face further downside pressure in the near term. While the data do not specify the underlying drivers, the shift in positioning underscores growing caution around the euro’s outlook on global markets.
