10.07.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Turn Net Long on Nasdaq 100 Futures as Sentiment Flips Positive

Net speculative positioning in Nasdaq 100 futures has swung into positive territory, signaling a notable shift in market sentiment toward U.S. tech-heavy equities. According to the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), released on 10 July 2026, speculative net positions moved from -7.6K contracts previously to 2.1K contracts currently.

The transition from a net short to a net long stance suggests that traders who had been betting against the Nasdaq 100 are now positioning for further gains. This reversal can reflect growing confidence in the outlook for major U.S. technology and growth stocks, which dominate the index. While the net long figure remains modest in absolute terms, the change in direction underscores a meaningful repositioning among speculative participants in the futures market.
