Data released by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) shows that in the week ending July 14, speculators increased their net long positions in NYMEX WTI crude oil by 11,704 contracts, bringing the total to 86,383 contracts. Meanwhile, speculators' net long positions in both Brent and WTI crude oil rose to 252,836 contracts, a near five-week high. Additionally, speculators' net short positions in NYMEX natural gas increased to 48,229 contracts, a more than two-year high. The increase in net long positions in crude oil typically reflects a more optimistic outlook on short-term oil prices from speculative investors, while the record high in net short positions in natural gas indicates a concentrated bearish sentiment in the market regarding natural gas prices.
