Metals — COT Reports
Select an instrument to view its full COT positioning chart and analysis.
Precious and industrial metals COT reports capture positioning across Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum and Palladium futures on COMEX and NYMEX. Gold COT data is the definitive read on safe-haven demand and real-rate sentiment, while silver and copper positioning reflects the industrial cycle and global growth expectations. Commercial hedgers — miners, refiners and fabricators — provide the structural counter-flow to speculative fund positioning, and the COT Index highlights when speculative longs or shorts have reached historically crowded extremes. Metals COT data is particularly useful around Fed policy shifts, dollar moves and China demand data.
