Speculators basically make money from companies who are hedging their positions. Most of the liquidity in the FX markets is NOT from people seeking absolute returns but mostly from trasactions by banks and corporations moving money from one country to another or looking to hedge their profits. So when the report says 60 million goes to speculators it means the 10 million is taken out of the market when speculators make profits off of institutions moving money.

As for the 95% that means that 95% lose while the 5% make the 60 million.
