Once each week, usually on Friday evenings, we’ll update our personal weekly commodity trading charts and review them for changes in “net long” or, “net short” holdings between the big commercial commodity traders, large speculators, and the usually uninformed public. This is our professional analysis of “the bigger picture” and current dynamics for each market which provide a spyglass view of the BIG commercial traders and what they are currently doing to influence the futures markets.
As you may already know, insider trading with stocks on Wall Street is very illegal. However, in the commodity trading industry, large/commercial traders MUST report their positions EACH WEEK to the CFTC regulatory body, hence, we monitor them on a weekly basis. Although the futures markets themselves will ultimately provide the most accurate illustration of trend, these (weekly) charts we’ve identified, serve to forewarn us of the next possible bigger move.
Here are the commodity markets which illustrate their forthcoming changing picture, and ones we will be watching closely to consider taking a position in next week:
UP Trending Futures Markets: Gold, E-mini Russell 2000, Silver, Euro-FX, Japanese Yen, and 10yr. T-Notes*
DOWN Trending Futures Markets: Light Sweet Crude Oil NY, US Dollar Index, Heating Oil NY, Soft-Red Winter Wheat*, and Soy Oil*
*expect extension of current trend
