COT Silver Report - July 31, 2026
SilverSeek.com published its latest Commitments of Traders (COT) Silver Report on July 31, 2026.
The COT report is based on data released weekly by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). It breaks down the open interest in U.S. futures markets by trader category, including commercial hedgers, large speculators (managed money and non-commercial), and small speculators (non-reportable positions). For the silver market, the COT report is widely followed as an indicator of how different classes of market participants are positioned in COMEX silver futures and options.
Silver's dual role as both a precious metal and an industrial commodity — with growing demand from solar photovoltaic manufacturing, electronics, and electrical vehicles — makes trader positioning data particularly relevant for market observers tracking the balance between investment demand and industrial offtake. COT data helps illustrate whether large speculators are building or reducing exposure to silver price movements, and whether commercial hedgers — typically producers, fabricators, and traders — are increasing or decreasing their hedge coverage.
The CFTC releases COT data every Friday at 3:30 p.m. Eastern, covering positions as of the prior Tuesday. SilverSeek.com republishes and contextualizes this data for its silver-focused audience.
