Weekly CFTC positioning
COMEX silver managed-money positioning
Latest and historical managed-money long, short, net, weekly change, open interest, and percentile context from the CFTC.
What changed
The page now retrieves contract code 084691 from the CFTC public-reporting API and labels every snapshot with its report date.
Why it matters
Silver combines investment and industrial narratives. Managed-money positioning can reveal speculative participation, but it cannot separate views about fabrication demand, macro hedging, or short-term momentum.
- Compare net positions with total open interest.
- Watch changes in both longs and shorts.
- Do not compare raw contract counts with gold without adjusting contract size.
Historical context
CFTC data are weekly Tuesday snapshots. A sharp Wednesday move is absent until the next report, which is why the page avoids calling the reading live.
What could change the conclusion
A position classified as managed money can be part of a broader portfolio. Physical inventories, options, OTC exposure, and foreign exchanges can point in a different direction.
