Speculative positioning in S&P 500 futures has become slightly less bearish, according to the latest data on CFTC S&P 500 speculative net positions for the United States. The net short stance narrowed from -110.1K contracts previously to -101.4K contracts in the most recent reading.

The shift indicates that market participants have modestly reduced their net short exposure to the benchmark U.S. equity index, though positioning remains in negative territory.
