17.04.202619:30:00UTC+00Aluminium Bulls Edge Ahead as CFTC Net Long Positions Tick Up in the U.S.

Speculative sentiment in the U.S. aluminium market strengthened slightly, with CFTC aluminium speculative net positions rising to 0.5K from 0.3K. The latest data, updated on 17 April 2026, indicate a modest increase in net long exposure among traders.

The move suggests a cautious but improving outlook on aluminium, as market participants incrementally increase bullish bets. While the change is not large in absolute terms, the shift from 0.3K to 0.5K net positions underscores a gradual build‑up in positive positioning rather than a retreat into neutrality or net shorts.

Investors will be watching whether this uptick develops into a more pronounced trend, potentially reflecting expectations around industrial demand, supply conditions, or broader macroeconomic dynamics impacting the U.S. aluminium market.
