Commitments of Traders (COT) reports, published weekly by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), break down open interest in futures markets by trader category — commercial hedgers, large speculators (managed money), and small traders. Precious metals analysts use COT data to gauge positioning extremes that may precede reversals in gold and silver. The U.S. Dollar Index (USDX), which measures the dollar against a basket of major currencies, is closely tracked alongside precious metals because gold and silver are dollar-denominated and typically move inversely to the greenback. Weekly COT summaries such as this GoldSeek series are commonly read by retail and professional traders monitoring whether speculative positioning has reached crowded levels.
