====== CFTC Reports ======

===== COT =====

Im Commitment of Traders (CoT)-Report legen die großen Produzenten und Händler von Indizes, Rohstoffen und Devisen ihre Positionierung am Terminmarkt offen. Es handelt sich um das sogenannte "Hard-Sentiment."((https://archive.ph/q0i34#selection-403.0-403.208))

Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) publishes the Commitments of Traders (COT) reports and provides a breakdown of open interest for futures and options markets. It categorizes the reportable open interest positions into four classifications:

  * Producer/Merchant/Processor/User: An entity that predominantly engages in the production, processing, packing, or handling of a physical commodity and uses the futures markets to manage or hedge risks associated with those activities.
  * Swap Dealers: An entity that deals in swaps for a commodity and uses the futures markets to manage or hedge the risk associated with those swap transactions.
  * Managed Money: Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) or Commodity Pool Operator (CPO). They are engaged in organized futures trading on behalf of clients.
  * Other Reportable: Every other reportable trader that is not placed above.
