21.08.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Trim Bullish Bets on Mexican Peso as CFTC Net Longs Ease to 79.5K

Speculative positioning in the Mexican peso has moderated, with CFTC MXN speculative net positions slipping to 79.5K contracts, down from a previous level of 83.7K. The latest data, updated on 21 August 2026, points to a cooling of bullish sentiment toward the peso among leveraged funds and other speculative traders.

While the Mexican currency remains in net long territory, the reduction in positions suggests a degree of caution is emerging in the market. Traders may be locking in profits or reassessing risk exposure after an extended period of positive positioning in the peso. The move could signal a more measured outlook on Mexico’s currency performance in the near term, even as overall sentiment remains broadly supportive.
