2026.10.3019:30:00UTC+00Speculators Trim Bullish Copper Bets as CFTC Net Longs Decline to 48.3K

Speculative interest in copper futures eased in the United States, with CFTC-reported net positions falling to 48.3K from a previous 57.4K, according to data updated on 30 October 2026. The decline suggests that investors have pared back their bullish exposure to the industrial metal.

The drop in net long positions indicates a more cautious stance among traders, who may be reassessing the near-term outlook for copper amid shifting macroeconomic conditions and demand expectations. While the market remains net long overall, the pullback from 57.4K to 48.3K highlights a cooling of speculative enthusiasm that could translate into softer price momentum if the trend continues.
