💡 Investors are closely watching commodity futures positioning as the COT report reveals shifts in investor sentiment.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) recently released its Commitments of Traders (COT) report, providing valuable insights into the positioning of various commodity markets, including gold, silver, and crude oil.

Gold Futures Positioning

The COT report indicates that large speculators have increased their net long positions in gold futures, while commercial traders have reduced their net long positions.
