Speculative traders have increased their bearish bets on the Japanese yen, with the latest CFTC data showing net positions falling to -102.1K, compared with -94.5K previously. The figures, updated on 01 May 2026, indicate a further build-up in short positions against the currency.

The widening net short stance suggests that market participants are strengthening expectations against the yen’s near-term performance. The move from -94.5K to -102.1K highlights continued pressure on the currency in speculative markets, as investors position themselves for ongoing weakness rather than a reversal.
