Net speculative positions in Nasdaq 100 futures turned slightly more bearish in the latest week, according to updated data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) released on 26 June 2026.

The CFTC figures show that net speculative positions declined from -8.9K to -9.1K, indicating that traders have modestly increased their net short exposure to the tech-heavy index. While the shift is relatively small, it suggests a cautious stance among speculative investors toward U.S. large-cap technology and growth stocks, which dominate the Nasdaq 100.

Market participants will be watching upcoming macroeconomic releases and corporate earnings for signs that could either reinforce this defensive positioning or prompt a shift back toward more bullish bets on the index.
