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

Last week in the COT data (delayed due to July 4th holiday), precious metals speculators continued to boost their Gold<\/strong> positions<\/a> for a fifth consecutive week. Gold<\/a> bullish positions have now gained by +172,258 net contracts in just the last five weeks.<\/p>\n

Silver<\/strong> bets cooled off<\/a> last week after four strong weekly gains previously. Silver speculative bets dipped by just -110 net contracts and remain above the +30,000 net contract threshold for a second straight week.<\/p>\n

Copper<\/strong> speculators, meanwhile, raised their short bets again<\/a> and for the tenth time out of the past eleven weeks.<\/p>\n

In currencies, the USD Index<\/strong> Speculator<\/a> bets were virtually unchanged this week while the Canadian dollar<\/strong><\/a> bets jumped for a second week over +20,000 contracts (CAD<\/strong> also went net bullish overall). Euro<\/strong> speculators sharply decreased<\/a> their bearish bets by over +24,000 contracts last week.<\/p>

The 10-Year Bond<\/strong><\/a> speculators added to their existing bearish position<\/a> this week after strongly bailing out of bearish bets in two out of three previous weeks.<\/p>\n

The WTI Crude<\/strong><\/a> oil speculators raised their bullish net positions<\/a> for a third straight week. This latest data saw bulls adding to their positions after two straight weekly gains due to short-covering.<\/p>\n

Finally, VIX<\/strong><\/a> speculators once again continued to raise their bearish positions<\/a> for a fourth straight week. The bearish sentiment has now risen to the highest level since May 7th which was one week after reaching an all-time record high position of -180,359 contracts on April 30th.<\/p>\n
