27.03.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Boost Bullish Bets on Gold as CFTC Net Longs Climb to 168.3K

Speculative interest in gold futures strengthened in the United States, with CFTC gold speculative net positions rising to 168.3K, up from the previous 159.9K. The latest data, updated on 27 March 2026, signal a further build-up in bullish positioning among managed money and other speculative traders.

The increase in net long positions suggests that market participants are growing more optimistic on gold’s outlook, potentially reflecting expectations of ongoing demand for safe-haven assets or shifting views on interest rates and inflation. While the data do not reveal the underlying drivers, the move from 159.9K to 168.3K underscores a continued tilt toward long exposure in the gold futures market.
