Speculative positioning in U.S. gold futures softened slightly in the latest reporting period, according to data updated on 27 February 2026. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) reported that gold speculative net positions eased to 159.2K contracts, down from 159.9K previously.

The marginal decline signals a modest paring back of bullish bets rather than a decisive shift in sentiment. While net longs remain elevated, the data suggest that some traders are locking in profits or exercising caution amid evolving macroeconomic and financial market conditions. Investors will be watching upcoming economic releases and central bank signals closely to gauge whether this pullback marks a brief pause or the start of a broader repositioning in gold.
