Downshift in CoT Data Puts EUR Net Position at Lowest Since '22

CFTC
  • The EUR net position deteriorated further in the latest week, with markets trimming a net 27k contracts to shrink the net long to 8.5% of open interest, the lowest level in 15 months (since October ’22). This pressed the positioning Z-score to -2.47, the lowest among all currencies surveyed.
  • AUD and NZD saw the biggest one-week swings in positioning, with AUD net dropping by 4.5% of open interest, while NZD rose by 4.9% on the week. The shifts in positioning (accurate as of the Tuesday 6th February close) came just ahead of last week’s ~100 pip slide in AUD/NZD.
  • This leaves markets with the largest net long MXN (33.2% of open interest), and the largest net short AUD (39.7%).
