This was a change of +24,809 contracts from the previous week\u2019s total of -180,363 net contracts that was recorded on November 19th. The past three weeks have seen the 10-Year bearish positions retreat from the November 5th level which had marked the highest bearish position in 10-year notes in 2013.<\/p>\n
