Euro Bets go Bearish, New Zealand Dollar Bets hit Record Low

By InvestMacro 

Here are the latest charts and statistics for the Commitment of Traders (COT) data published by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The latest COT data is updated through Tuesday July 7th and shows a quick view of how large market participants (for-profit speculators and commercial traders) were positioned in the futures markets. All currency positions are in direct relation to the US dollar where, for example, a bet for the euro is a bet that the euro will rise versus the dollar while a bet against the euro will be a bet that the euro will decline versus the dollar.

Weekly Speculator Changes led by Japanese Yen & British Pound

The COT currency market speculator bets were lower this week as five out of the eleven currency markets we cover had higher positioning while the other six markets had lower speculator contracts.

Leading the gains for the currency markets was the Japanese Yen (31,314 contracts) with the British Pound (14,244 contracts), Mexican Peso (6,421 contracts), Swiss Franc (1,544 contracts), US Dollar Index (253 contracts) and the Bitcoin (-270 contracts) also showing positive weeks.

The currencies seeing declines in speculator bets on the week were the Canadian Dollar (-22,320 contracts) and the EuroFX (-17,326 contracts) with the Brazilian Real (-13,826 contracts), Australian Dollar (-6,951 contracts) and the New Zealand Dollar (-1,909 contracts) also registering lower bets on the week.

COT Currencies: Euro Bets go Bearish, New Zealand Dollar Bets hit Record Low

Highlighting major Currency speculator positions this week was the Euro, which saw speculator positions fall into a bearish territory this week for the first time since a brief dip into bearish territory in April. Overall, the Euro positions have now only seen two bearish positions out of the past 70 weeks. This week, Euro speculator bets fell for a third consecutive week and for the second week where bets fell by more than -17,000 contracts and this has brought the overall net position to a -16,227 net contract level. The recent Euro weakness has been a rather swift turnaround for the Euro, which started off the year of 2026 with extremely bullish positions that were routinely above +100,000 net contracts (+180,305 net contracts on February 10th). However, in March, the Euro position started to deteriorate and fall sharply, with the net position falling by a total of -121,371 contracts over the past 17 weeks dating back to March 10th.

In the Forex markets, and despite the sharp drop-off in speculator positions, the Euro exchange rate has continued to be relatively stable with this week’s close around 1.1445. This is slightly below the sideways trading range that had prevailed for roughly a year with 1.15 support on the downside and 1.1950 resistance on the upside. The 1.15 significant level may turn into a strong resistance level for future price action.

The New Zealand Dollar this week continued to fall for a fifth consecutive week and now has dropped to an all-time record low of -65,189 net contracts. Overall, the New Zealand Dollar has now been in a bearish position for just about a year, with the last bullish position dating back to July 15th of 2025. In Forex trading markets against the US Dollar, the New Zealand Dollar rose for a second consecutive week this week. However, the currency, in the big scheme of things, has been in a downtrend since falling below its 200-weekly moving average in 2022. In the past year, the currency has been in a sideways trading range that has seen support around the 0.5600 level, while there has been strong resistance at the 0.6050 threshold. This week’s close was at the 0.5775 price level.

Next up, the US Dollar Index has continued to see speculator bets improve with a very modest rise this week of just 253 contracts. This edge higher has brought the overall net position now to a total of 13,269 net contracts which is the highest bullish position for the US Dollar Index in over a year, dating back to March of 2025. The US Dollar Index in the Foreign Exchange markets, much like the Euro, has broken out of its sideways trading range (to the upside though) that was capped around the 100.20 level previously. This week, the DXY closed at the 100.75 exchange rate and will look to use the previous resistance as a support level to trend higher.

The Japanese Yen speculative bets surged this week by over 30,000 contracts. This is the second gain out of the past three weeks. However, the Japanese Yen speculator position is extremely bearish as the overall net position has been more than -100,000 net contracts for seven consecutive weeks. In the Forex markets, the Japanese Yen has been extremely weak as well, and is trading around its 40-year lows against the US Dollar. The USDJPY currency pair closed out the week at 161.66, which registers as a historically strong US Dollar weekly close against the Japanese Yen.

The British Pound Sterling speculative bets rose this week by over 14,000 net contracts and advanced for a second consecutive week. The British Pound Sterling net standing has been very weak as well with extreme bearish positions and settled in at a -87,903 net speculator contracts this week. The improvement in speculator bets this week took the GBP position out of a -100,000 net contract position that had prevailed the previous two weeks but overall, the GBP speculator positioning has now been in negative territory for 50 consecutive weeks, dating back to the last bullish reading on July 22nd of 2025. In the Forex markets, the British Pound Sterling has risen for two consecutive weeks and remains in a sideways trading band that has a support level of 1.3150 and a resistance level on the top side at 1.3750. This week, the GBP against the US Dollar closed at 1.3399.

The New Zealand Dollar leads Currency Market price performances

The major Currency Markets’ price performances were led this week by the New Zealand Dollar, which rose by 1.33%. Next up, the Brazilian Real was also higher than 1% with a 1.14% increase. Bitcoin was marginally higher by 0.71%, followed by the British Pound Sterling, which rose by 0.42% on the week.

The Australian Dollar saw an uptick by 0.35%, followed by the Canadian Dollar, which saw a similar edge higher by 0.34%. The US Dollar Index was virtually unchanged, but a bit higher at 0.09%, while the Japanese Yen saw virtually no change on the week.

On the downside, the Mexican Peso edged lower by -0.06% and was followed by the Euro, which dipped ever so slightly by -0.14%.

The biggest decliner on the week was the Swiss Franc with a modest decline of -0.57%.

*COT Report: The COT data, released weekly to the public each Friday, is updated through the most recent Tuesday (data is 3 days old) and shows a quick view of how large speculators or non-commercials (for-profit traders) were positioned in the futures markets.

The CFTC categorizes trader positions according to commercial hedgers (traders who use futures contracts for hedging as part of the business), non-commercials (large traders who speculate to realize trading profits) and nonreportable traders (usually small traders/speculators) as well as their open interest (contracts open in the market at time of reporting).See CFTC criteria here.
