The CFTC Commitment of Traders (COT) report, released weekly, provides valuable insights into the positions held by various market participants in futures and options markets.
Traders use this data to assess the positioning of commercial hedgers, non-commercial speculators, and small traders in key commodity markets. The report helps market participants gauge potential price movements and trends, aiding in risk management and decision-making.
Analyzing the CFTC COT report is a common practice among investors seeking to understand market sentiment and positioning for commodities, currencies, and financial instruments.
