Speculative bets against the British pound narrowed slightly in the latest data, with CFTC GBP speculative net positions rising from -58.8K to -58.7K contracts, according to figures updated on 18 September 2026.

The change indicates that bearish positioning on sterling remains broadly intact, with only a marginal reduction in net short exposure. While the move is numerically small, it suggests that traders have not significantly altered their overall negative stance on the currency, despite the modest shift in positioning.
