Copper market sentiment in the United States strengthened further, with speculative net positions climbing to 80.4K, up from 77.1K previously, according to the latest data released on 14 August 2026 by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

The increase in net long positions suggests that traders and funds are growing more optimistic about copper’s price outlook. Rising speculative interest often reflects expectations of stronger demand or tighter supply conditions, and the latest figures indicate that bullish sentiment toward the red metal has continued to build.

This uptick in speculative positioning will be closely watched by market participants, as shifts in CFTC-reported positions can signal evolving views on global industrial activity and broader risk appetite in commodities markets.
