The Commitment of Traders (COT) data that is published by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) each week has been delayed once again for the third straight week. The delay is due to a recent cybersecurity event that happened in early February. The hack affected ION Cleared Derivatives (a subsidiary of ION Markets) and has created a problem for the large trader positions to be reported.
Here’s the latest CFTC comments:
“Following the ION cyber-related incident, reporting firms are continuing to experience some issues submitting timely and accurate data to the CFTC. As a result, the weekly Commitments of Traders (CoT) report that normally would have been published on Friday, February 17, will be postponed.
“CFTC staff intends to resume publishing the CoT report as early as Friday, February 24, 2023. Staff will begin with the CoT report that was originally scheduled to be published on Friday, February 3, 2023. Thereafter, staff intends to sequentially issue the missed CoT reports in an expedited manner, subject to reporting firms submitting accurate and complete data.”
We will publish our InvestMacro COT articles, data tables and charts once data is released from the CFTC. Stay up to date with the weekly COT data by joining our email list here.
