Net speculative positioning in US natural gas futures has turned less negative, according to the latest data on CFTC Natural Gas speculative net positions. As of 05 June 2026, the net position stands at -186.1K contracts, compared with a previous reading of -203.2K.

The shift indicates that while speculators remain net short on US natural gas, some bearish bets have been reduced relative to the prior reporting period. The move toward a smaller net short position may reflect changing expectations around natural gas market dynamics, including pricing, demand, and broader energy market sentiment in the United States. Traders and analysts will be watching subsequent CFTC updates for signs of whether this moderation in negative positioning continues or reverses in the coming weeks.
