25.09.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Bearish Bets on Australian Dollar as Net Shorts Widen

Speculative traders increased their bearish positions on the Australian dollar, with CFTC AUD speculative net positions falling further into negative territory. The net position declined from -38.9K contracts previously to -46.8K, according to data updated on 25 September 2026.

The widening negative balance indicates that market participants are growing more pessimistic on the Australian currency, increasing the scale of net short positions. This shift suggests that traders are positioning for continued weakness in the AUD, potentially reflecting caution over Australia’s economic outlook or broader global risk sentiment impacting commodity-linked currencies.
