Here are the latest charts and statistics for the Commitment of Traders (COT) data published by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
The latest COT data is updated through Tuesday November 9th 2021 and shows a quick view of how large traders (for-profit speculators and commercial entities) were positioned in the futures markets. This week’s reports are delayed due to last week’s Veteran’s Day holiday.
Highlighting this week’s COT data for bonds were the gains in speculative bets for the Ultra 10-Year Notes and the 2-Year bond. These two markets each rose by over +46,000 net positions this week and led the weekly net changes for all the markets we cover. These two markets are also in extreme bullish positions for the speculator strength indexes with the 2-Year bond at an 88.6 percent score while the Ultra 10-Year is at an 81.1 percent score. The strength index weighs the current position against the past three years with extreme scores above 80 (bullish) and below 20 (bearish).

*COT Report: The COT data, released weekly to the public each Friday, is updated through the most recent Tuesday (data is 3 days old) and shows a quick view of how large speculators or non-commercials (for-profit traders) were positioned in the futures markets.
The CFTC categorizes trader positions according to commercial hedgers (traders who use futures contracts for hedging as part of the business), non-commercials (large traders who speculate to realize trading profits) and nonreportable traders (usually small traders/speculators) as well as their open interest (contracts open in the market at time of reporting).See CFTC criteria here.
