Speculative interest in gold futures strengthened in the United States, as the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) showed an increase in net long positions. As of 15 May 2026, gold speculative net positions rose to 171.6K, up from the previous reading of 163.3K.

The gain in net long positions suggests that traders and money managers have become more optimistic about the gold market’s near-term prospects.
