06.07.202619:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Net Short Bets on S&P 500 Futures, CFTC Data Show

Speculative traders have increased their net short positions in S&P 500 futures, according to the latest Commitments of Traders data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), updated on 06 July 2026.

Net speculative positions in S&P 500 futures fell from -35.4K contracts previously to -37.6K contracts, indicating that traders have become slightly more bearish on the U.S. equity benchmark. A more negative net figure reflects a widening gap between short and long positions held by non-commercial participants, such as hedge funds and other large speculators.

The shift suggests growing caution among market participants toward the near-term outlook for U.S. stocks, with speculative interest leaning further toward protection or outright downside bets on the S&P 500.
