    • Commitment of Traders
      Produced every week, this report is a summary of the open interest in 43 major futures markets as reported by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The data is divided into three categories: large speculators, large hedgers, and small traders.

      While the information is graphically shown in our charts, this table compiles all the information in a unique format that makes it easy to analyze and understand. The Net Traders Position Index is the actual difference between the number of long positions held by each group minus the number of short positions. Thus a positive number means they hold more long positions that short and vice versa.

      While this information is graphically shown on our weekly charts, this table compiles the information in a easy to read numerical format.
