How to read Euro FX

Track positioning in CME Euro FX futures and compare the latest non-commercial net exposure with its own historical range. The contract expresses the euro against the U.S. dollar.

Euro FX futures are quoted in U.S. dollars per euro. A long futures position is long EUR and short USD, so its directional convention broadly matches an EUR/USD chart.

This public analysis uses the Legacy report so its headline COT Index matches the market board. Open the Traders in Financial Futures report in the app for its more specific trader categories.

What this series covers

CME Euro FX futures are a transparent positioning sample, not a measure of the entire global over-the-counter EUR/USD market.

COT data is a weekly snapshot of positions held at Tuesday’s close and is generally published on Friday. It shows aggregate positions by CFTC classification, not the motive behind each trade.
