Smart money = CFTC non-commercial traders. Net = long − short contracts. COT index = where the net position sits in its last 13 weekly reports (0% lowest, 100% highest). Market names link to our guide for that market.

How to read this table

  • Net above zero means the large speculators hold more long than short contracts; below zero, more short.
  • Change on the week shows whether they added to or cut that position since the report before.
  • COT index near 100% or 0% means the position is at an extreme of its recent range; extremes matter more than the raw number.
  • The report shows Tuesday's positions and comes out on Friday, so it describes the big picture, not the day.
