US Dollar Speculators Reduce Net Long Position by Nearly 400 Contracts

According to the latest Commitment of Traders (COT) data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), large currency speculators in US dollar futures have seen a decline in their net long position. The non-commercial futures contracts of US dollar index futures, traded by large speculators and hedge funds, totaled 18,682 contracts as of August 25, 2026, marking a decrease of 397 net positions compared to the previous week.
