Currency Speculator Bets Improving For GBP, MXN, Going Bearish For JPY
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 January 13th 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 British Pound
The COT currency market speculator bets were overall lower this week as five out of the eleven currency markets we cover had higher positioning and the other six markets had lower speculator contracts.
Leading the gains for the currency markets was the British Pound (5,268 contracts) with Bitcoin (803 contracts), the Brazilian Real (257 contracts), the Australian Dollar (114 contracts), the US Dollar Index (101 contracts) and also showing positive weeks.
The currencies seeing declines in speculator bets on the week were the Japanese Yen (-53,979 contracts), the EuroFX (-30,156 contracts), the New Zealand Dollar (-5,488 contracts), the Mexican Peso (-5,743 contracts), the Swiss Franc (-3,126 contracts) and with the Canadian Dollar (-1,665 contracts) also recording lower bets on the week.
Speculators bets improving for GBP, MXN and going bearish for JPY
Highlighting the latest currency data is the British pound sterling seeing improved sentiment, the Mexican peso with net contracts above +100,000 positions and the Japanese yen which is shedding speculator contracts.
The British pound sterling which saw its speculator bets rise for a seventh straight week in the latest updated data. Over the last seven weeks, there have been +67,951 contracts added to the GBP speculator standing. This has taken the GBP positioning from a highly bearish -93,221 contracts to this week’s -25,270 contracts, which is the least bearish level of the last 11 weeks. The British pound sterling positioning has been consistently on the bearish side, dating back to July of 2025—a span of 25 weeks. The British pound exchange rate against the US Dollar has fluctuated since that time and is actually down by about 300 pips from the July 2025 high.
The Mexican peso futures speculator bets dipped this week for the first time in four weeks. However, the peso position is strongly bullish at the current moment, with the overall net position above the 100,000 contract level for a fourth straight week and for the fifth time out of the last six weeks. These are currently the highest and most bullish levels for the peso since June of 2024. In the currency market trading, the peso has been on a steady uptrend since bottoming in February 2025. Since hitting that bottom, the peso is up by roughly 20% against the US dollar and is up by over 2% to start 2026.
On the other end of the spectrum, the Japanese yen has seen its net speculator position fall into a bearish net standing this week at -45,164 contracts. This was because of a huge decline on the week of over -53,000 contracts. The sentiment for the Japanese yen has shifted sharply, as the yen bullish position was above +100,000 contracts consistently for 21 weeks last year from March all the way to July. Since then, there has been a steady decline week to week and month to month that has culminated in a negative bearish position for the yen. The yen futures price has also been on a stark downtrend and is touching the lowest levels since 2024. Despite recent interest rates in Japan rising (which is usually a boost for the home currency), the yen has been going the opposite way. Giving caution to the yen bulls is the outlook for the new prime minister possibly being implementing a dovish policy and hindering the Bank of Japan plans to hike the interest rate further.
The Euro speculative position saw a large reduction in bullish bets this week. The change in this week’s speculative position looks like a cool off from a very high position, as the euro speculative contracts have now been over +100,000 for seven straight weeks and above the +100,000 net contract level in 27 out of the last 31 weeks. Last week marked the highest level (+162,812 net contracts) for Euro speculative positions since August of 2023. The Euro currency price seems to be in consolidation mode between the 1.1900 level on the top side and the 1.1500 level on the lower support. Currently in the month of January, the Euro is down by -1.3% but recently hit its highest level since 2021 in November at the high of 1.1979.
Bitcoin leads 5-Day Price Performance Changes
Currency market price changes this week were led by Bitcoin, which rose by almost 6%. The Mexican Peso was next with a 1.95% change over the past five days. The US Dollar Index was higher by 0.37%, and the New Zealand Dollar was higher by 0.35%.

The Swiss Franc fell by 0.29%, followed by the Euro, which fell a similar 0.30% over the past five days.
The biggest movers over the past 90 days have been the Mexican Peso, which is up by approximately 5%. The Brazilian Real is up by almost 2% over that same period, while on the downside, the Japanese Yen has fallen sharply by -6.90% in the past 90 days. The New Zealand Dollar is down by -3.69% in the past 90 days.

*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).
