2026.03.1319:30:00UTC+00Speculators Boost Bullish Bets on Silver as CFTC Net Longs Edge Higher

Speculative positioning in U.S. silver futures ticked higher in the latest reporting period, signaling a modest uptick in bullish sentiment toward the metal. According to the latest data, released on 13 March 2026, CFTC silver speculative net positions rose to 24.6K contracts, up from the previous level of 23.3K.

The increase in net long positions suggests that traders are slightly more optimistic about silver’s near-term prospects, adding to their bullish exposure compared with the prior reading. While the move is incremental, it reinforces a trend of steady interest from speculative participants watching silver’s role both as an industrial input and a perceived defensive asset in shifting market conditions.
