Speculative positioning in the Australian dollar strengthened further, with net long contracts rising to 78.7K, up from 71.9K previously, according to the latest Commitments of Traders (CFTC) data updated on 08 May 2026. The increase suggests growing confidence among leveraged funds and other speculative traders in the near-term prospects of the AUD.

The continued build-up in net long positions indicates that market participants are positioning for potential Australian dollar appreciation, or at least relative resilience versus major peers. The shift may reflect expectations around domestic economic conditions, interest-rate dynamics, or broader risk sentiment, as investors reassess the appeal of commodity-linked and higher-yielding currencies.
