Speculative investors have inched further into bullish territory on gold, according to the latest Commitments of Traders report from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As of the update on 24 April 2026, net speculative positions in gold futures rose to 164.0K contracts, up from 162.5K previously.

The increase in net long positions suggests that traders are maintaining, and modestly expanding, their positive outlook on the precious metal. While the move is incremental rather than dramatic, it points to continued interest in gold as a key asset in investor portfolios, with speculative players slightly reinforcing their exposure rather than taking profits or scaling back risk.
