Speculative traders have sharply increased their net short exposure to the Nasdaq 100, according to the latest Commitments of Traders report from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). As of the update on 5 June 2026, Nasdaq 100 speculative net positions stood at -14.9K, compared with -6.1K previously.

The shift reflects a notable build-up in bearish sentiment toward the U.S. tech-heavy index, as net short positions more than doubled over the latest reporting period. While the data do not reveal the underlying motivations of individual market participants, the move suggests that speculative traders are positioning for potential downside or increased volatility in major U.S. growth and technology names tied to the Nasdaq 100.
