Leveraged Funds Short 1.9 Million 10-Year Contracts Betting On A Fed Hike

The CFTC's Commitments of Traders report for the week of September 8 puts those funds net short 1.3 million 2-year note contracts.

  • CFTC's Commitments of Traders (COT) report, week ended September 8, 2026, shows leveraged funds net short 1.94 million 10-year Treasury futures contracts.
  • The report is titled "Traders in Financial Futures - Futures Only Positions."
  • Same week's data puts leveraged funds net short 1.29 million 2-year Treasury futures contracts.

Why it matters: Leveraged funds are not predicting the Fed; they are betting it will do what it always does.
