Speculative interest in gold futures strengthened in the United States, with CFTC-reported net positions rising to 163.1K from a previous 160.1K. The latest data, updated on 13 March 2026, signal a modest increase in bullish sentiment among traders.

The uptick in net long positions suggests that market participants are incrementally adding to their exposure in anticipation of further upside in gold prices. While the change is not dramatic, the move higher from 160.1K to 163.1K underscores continued confidence in the metal’s appeal as a strategic asset in portfolios. Traders and investors will be watching subsequent CFTC data releases closely to gauge whether this shift develops into a more sustained positioning trend.
