Canadian Dollar COT Report

Canadian dollar COT report, week to 27 Oct 2026: leveraged funds were net short 96,747 contracts in the futures, down 5,634 on the week before.

Leveraged funds are fast money, quick to add and quick to cut. A large net position shows how crowded a bet has become, and near either end of its range it can unwind fast when the news turns. On its own it does not say where the CAD goes next: positioning is one input to a fundamental bias, beside rates, growth, inflation and the central bank. Our CAD page weighs them together and shows what they mean for the currency.
