CFTC: Swiss Franc Net Short at 22,078 Contracts in Week to Oct 13
The franc's modest net short sits alongside far larger euro and sterling shorts, suggesting the franc is being treated as a relative safe haven within the European currency bloc rather than a standalone short target. The yen's net long position is the outlier here, hinting at positioning that runs against the broader risk backdrop. Whether that franc short stays contained or tracks the euro's larger bearish stance is the open question worth watching in the next reporting week.
