<p>Here are the latest charts and statistics for the <a href="https://www.investmacro.com/cot/">Commitment of Traders (COT)</a> data published by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).</p>
<p>The latest <a href="https://www.investmacro.com/cot/">COT</a> data is updated through <b>Tuesday December 5th</b> and shows a quick view of how large market participants (<a href="https://investmacro.com/cot-reports/#Trader_Groups">for-profit speculators</a> and <a href="https://investmacro.com/cot-reports/#Trader_Groups">commercial traders</a>) were positioned in the futures markets. All currency positions are in direct relation to the US dollar where, for example, a bet for the euro is a bet that the euro will rise versus the dollar while a bet against the euro will be a bet that the euro will decline versus the dollar.</p>
<h2>Weekly Speculator Changes led by British Pound &amp; Brazilian Real</h2>
<p><a href="https://investmacro.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Currency-Futures-Large-Speculator-Net-Position-Changes-1.png"><img data-dominant-color="0a0c0a" data-has-transparency="true" style="–dominant-color: #0a0c0a;" loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="has-transparency aligncenter size-full wp-image-217026" src="https://investmacro.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Currency-Futures-Large-Speculator-Net-Position-Changes-1.png" alt="" width="608" height="371" srcset="https://investmacro.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Currency-Futures-Large-Speculator-Net-Position-Changes-1.png 608w, https://investmacro.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Currency-Futures-Large-Speculator-Net-Position-Changes-1-160×98.png 160w, https://investmacro.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Currency-Futures-Large-Speculator-Net-Position-Changes-1-150×92.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 608px) 100vw, 608px" /></a></p>
<p>The COT <a href="https://investmacro.com/forex-currency-news/">currency market</a> speculator bets were higher this week as ten out of the eleven currency markets we cover had higher positioning while the other one markets had lower speculator contracts.</p>
<p>Leading the gains for the currency markets was the British Pound (19,560 contracts) with the Brazilian Real (17,363 contracts), the Australian Dollar (13,538 contracts), the EuroFX (9,195 contracts), the Mexican Peso (7,971 contracts), the Canadian Dollar (5,394 contracts), the Japanese Yen (4,281 contracts), the New Zealand Dollar (3,159 contracts), the Swiss Franc (2,437 contracts) and the US Dollar Index (857 contracts) also experiencing positive weeks.</p>
<p>The only currency (cryptocurrency) seeing a decline in speculator bets on the week was the Bitcoin with a dip by -505 contracts.</p>
<h3><strong>Currency Speculators raise their British Pound bets into bullish level</strong></h3>
<p>Highlighting the COT currency’s data is the continued gains in the speculator positioning for the British Pound Sterling. The Pound Sterling speculative positioning rose this week by almost +20,000 contracts, following up on last week’s gain by +18,203 contracts. The GBP speculator position has now risen in four out of the past five weeks and by a total of +32,036 contracts over that period.</p>
<p>This bullishness has brought the net speculator standing (currently at +11,665 contracts) back into an overall bullish level for the first time since September 26th.</p>
<p>The British Pound Sterling’s exchange rate with the US Dollar took a breather this week after gaining for three consecutive weeks and touching over the 1.2700 level. The Sterling’s exchange descended this week to the major psychological support level of 1.2500 but managed to bounce from that major support back up to 1.2551 to close out the week.</p>
