The CoT Report refers to the trading positions of notifiable market participants in futures transactions. The aim is to create transparency about the positions in the form of a list of the open interest, i.e. all open futures and options contracts. Every Friday, the positions that exist on Tuesday evening after the close of trading are published. Thus, traders can anticipate statements about the “positioning” of large market participants.

According to the latest data, the net long position of the large speculators in the EUR future was again increased by a good 4,000 contracts; the total position of the large speculators is thus currently a good 104,000 contracts net long according to the latest data. The upward trend in the positioning of large speculators since the interim low of mid-April at 67,000 contracts thus continues. The professional speculators continue to bet on the European single currency against the greenback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
