Speculative traders have modestly reduced their bearish exposure to the Japanese yen, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data released by the CFTC on 26 June 2026. Net speculative positions in JPY futures improved to -146.1K from a previous -150.1K, indicating a small degree of short covering.

While positioning remains firmly net short, the slight move suggests some market participants may be reassessing the extent of their negative yen bets. The change, though incremental, will be watched by FX traders and macro investors for signs of a potential shift in sentiment toward the Japanese currency. For now, however, speculative flows continue to lean heavily against the yen.
