Commodity Futures Trading Commission
The CFTC is discussed mainly as a source of futures-positioning data, not as a policymaker or regulator. Jim Wiederhold pointed to recent CFTC data as showing stronger positioning in gold, less enthusiasm for silver and potentially rising silver shorts 1, while Bloomberg’s summary used CFTC and ICE data to report more bullish Brent and WTI positioning 2. A Macro Voices segment described the CFTC’s Commitment of Traders report as a snapshot of market positioning and a map of crowding, rather than a predictive tool 3.

The stories
- ○ a voice, on the left
- ◌ a voice raising half of these
- ● a subject, on the right, under its story
- ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story
The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
