Index programme

Measures how concentrated speculative positioning is across major commodity futures, using CFTC non-commercial net positioning percentiles.

Planned methodology

Planned: for each covered commodity market, compute the 3-year percentile rank of non-commercial net positioning as a share of open interest; the index is the open-interest-weighted mean distance from the 50th percentile, scaled 0–100.

Coverage

Planned: 17 commodity futures markets tracked by EveryIntel (energy, metals, agriculture, livestock).

Update schedule

Weekly, after the CFTC Commitments of Traders release.

Revision policy

Recomputed if the CFTC revises an input; prior published values retained as revisions.
