About these figures

Net position and open interest
The net position is speculators' (the CFTC's “noncommercial” category) long contracts minus their short contracts, counted in contracts. Open interest is the number of outstanding contracts across the whole market, which is not the same as speculators' longs plus shorts.
Change in percent and “flipped”
The percentage is “weekly change ÷ absolute value of last week's net position × 100”. When last week's figure was small the percentage swings wildly, so it is not shown (“—”). Weeks in which the skew switched sides are marked “Flipped”.
