Speculative positioning in U.S. crude oil futures eased slightly, according to the latest Commitment of Traders data from the CFTC updated on 06 July 2026. Net speculative long positions in crude oil slipped to 110.5K contracts, down from 114.6K previously.

The modest decline suggests some money managers and hedge funds have pared back bullish exposure, potentially reflecting a more cautious stance on the near-term outlook for oil prices. While net longs remain elevated, the pullback indicates a cooling of optimism compared with the prior reporting period. Traders will be watching upcoming macroeconomic data and supply-demand signals to gauge whether this shift in positioning becomes a broader trend or remains a short-term adjustment.
