COT Report

The CFTC's weekly Commitments of Traders report, visualized — how large traders are positioned across currencies, indices, metals, energy, rates and crypto. Toggle between the broad non-commercial cut and the sharper money-manager cut (Managed Money for commodities, Leveraged Funds for financials). Bars show the long/short split; the table adds week-over-week change and how stretched positioning is versus its own 3-year history.

Latest report — positions as of Aug 25, 2026 (released the following Friday). Source: CFTC.
⚠️

Not financial advice. COT is a weekly, delayed snapshot for general information and education only — not a recommendation, signal, or offer. Positioning is not a timing tool; extremes can persist.

How to read it: "Net" is non-commercial long minus short contracts. The percentile ranks today's net-as-%-of-open-interest against the last ~3 years — high = speculators unusually long (crowded), low = unusually short. Updated weekly after the CFTC release.
