18.09.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Bearish Bets on Australian Dollar as Net Shorts Widen

Speculative traders have increased their bearish exposure to the Australian dollar, with CFTC AUD speculative net positions falling further into negative territory. The latest data show that net positions declined to -38.9K contracts, down from the previous level of -34.9K.

The shift indicates that market participants have grown more cautious on the Australian currency, adding to net short positions rather than scaling them back. The widening negative balance suggests sentiment toward the AUD has weakened since the last reading.

The updated figures, released on 18 September 2026, will be closely monitored by investors tracking positioning dynamics in the Australian dollar, as they can signal how traders view the currency’s near-term prospects in global markets.
