COT Report: Read it online here | Premium Members Portal

Here are this week’s links to the latest Commitment of Traders data changes that were released on Friday.

This week in the COT data, precious metals speculators did a u-turn and piled into Gold bullish positions by the largest one-week gain on record. Bets for Silver were also sharply higher. Copper bets, however, continued to see higher levels of bearishness and fell to the most bearish standing since January.

The VIX net speculative bearish position retreated this week after a couple of small moves in the previous weeks. The VIX speculator bets have moved further away from the all-time record high bearish level of -180,359 contracts that was reached on April 30th.

The 10-Year Bond speculators sharply pushed their net short positions higher this week and have been adding to bearish bets for four out of the past five weeks. The speculators, usually reliable trend-followers, have found themselves betting against the recent 10-Year Bond strength (bond prices are inverse of the bond yield and the 10-Year yield ended this week way down at 2.09%).

WTI Crude oil speculators continued to pull back on their bullish bets for a 6th straight week and have now cut positions by a total of -147,191 contracts over this period.

In Currencies, the USD Index Speculator bets dipped slightly this week and continued the recent steady downtrend in spec positions. Euro bets sharply improved this week and the bearish level is now back under the -100,000 net contract level (maybe the worst is over for the Euro?). Japanese Yen bets also saw more improvement and hit the least bearish level in 14 weeks.

The British pound sentiment continued to sour as speculator bets have now increased their bearishness for three straight weeks to the most bearish level since January.

Finally, Mexican peso positions furthered their slide (although remain strongly bullish) after surging to a record high bullish level on April 16th.
