Details
The Commitments of Traders (COT) reports provide a breakdown of each Tuesday's
open interest for markets in which 20 or more traders hold positions equal to or
above the reporting levels established by the CFTC. A trader must report his or her
position if at the daily market close, their position is at or above the CFTC's
reporting level in any futures month or option expiration. A trader is determined to
be commercial or non-commercial using the following rational: all traders'
reported futures positions in a commodity are classified as commercial if the trader
uses futures contracts in that particular commodity for hedging as defined in
the CFTC's regulations (1.3(z). Along with a breakdown by commercial/non-commercial
traders, the CFTC also reports 'disaggregated' categories of producer/merchant,
swap dealers, managed money and other reportables. When a contract does not meet the
CFTC's minimum reporting requirement there will be no data reported and that
date will be left blank.
SOURCE: http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/CommitmentsofTraders/index.htm
UPDATE INFO: Data is provided weekly on Friday at 3:30pm EST for the week ending on
Tuesday. Data is only reported to the CFTC for markets in which 20 or more traders hold
positions equal to or above the reporting levels established by the CFTC. If
the minumum requirements are not met, no data will be posted for that week.
CALCULATIONS: Data is taken directly from the source without any manipulation, except
for the 'Net' tickers, which are calculated by taking the long contracts minus the
short contracts.
SOURCE METHODOLOGY: http://www.cftc.gov/MarketReports/CommitmentsofTraders/ExplanatoryNotes/index.htm
Please note that "The Disaggregated COT report data for physical commodity markets
can be re-aggregated to get back to the two categories of the COT report. The
TFF report, however, is not a disaggregation of the COT data for the financial
futures markets. The traders classified into one of the four categories in the
TFF report may be drawn from either the 'commercial' or 'noncommercial'
categories of traders in the legacy COT reports."
HISTORICAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Coffee Sugar and Cocoa Exchange and New York Cotton
Exchange were part of the New York Board of Trade which merged with Intercontinental
Exchange (ICE) in January 2007. If a holiday falls on a Tuesday, report dates for
the Monday before or Wednesday after are modified to reflect the Tuesday date, as
if there were no holiday.
