2026.09.2519:30:00UTC+00Speculators Deepen Net Short in U.S. Aluminium Futures as CFTC Data Shows Position Shift

Speculative traders have increased their bearish stance on aluminium in the United States, according to the latest figures on CFTC Aluminium speculative net positions. The net position fell from -0.4K contracts previously to -0.8K contracts, signaling a further move into net short territory.

The shift suggests that market participants tracking aluminium futures are becoming more cautious or pessimistic about the near-term price outlook. While the data alone does not explain the reasons behind the move, the doubling of the net short position highlights growing downside sentiment among speculative investors.

The updated figures were released on 25 September 2026 and will be closely watched by traders and analysts as they assess positioning trends and potential implications for aluminium price dynamics in the U.S. market.
