Before you read the data

How to read the numbers

Look at the current skew and the change from last week separately.

Net position and “speculators”
Net = long contracts − short contracts. A positive number is net long, a negative number net short, and 0 is balanced. “Speculators” are the CFTC's “noncommercial” category.
Weekly change and the arrows
The rise or fall in the net position since the previous week. ↑ is a shift towards the long side, ↓ towards the short side. Even after a shift towards the long side, a negative net figure is still net short.
The line and the range of up to 52 weeks
The line is the net position and the dashed line is 0 contracts. The range marker shows where the current figure sits between the period's low and high. With fewer than 52 weeks of data, the weeks available are used. The vertical scale differs for each market.
Long share
Speculators' long contracts ÷ (long + short contracts), as a percentage. It is not a price chart.
