Here are this week\u2019s links to the latest Commitment of Traders data changes that were released on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week in the COT data<\/strong>, we continued to see deeper levels of bearishness in a two of the most prominent precious metals (Copper<\/a>, Silver<\/a><\/strong>) while the Gold positions<\/a><\/strong> saw their bullish bets sharply pull back.<\/p>\n

The VIX<\/a><\/strong>, which has been one of the most interesting markets to watch, had bearish bets rising again<\/a> after two really sharp reductions in the previous weeks that followed a record high bearish level on April 30th.<\/p>\n

The S&P500-Mini<\/a><\/strong> contract has seen improving speculator positions but it has been because short positions (short covering) have been retreating from the market. Despite that, the net bullish position is now at the best level since January 8th.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

The 10-Year Bond<\/strong><\/a> speculators continued to bet against bonds rising and pushed their bearish bets to the highest level since November. Despite their bearishness, bond prices have risen to the highest levels since November 2017 while bond yields have continued lower (this week around 2.32%).<\/p>
