Notes on Gold’s Commitment of Traders Report


traderdannorcini.blogspot.com / By Dan Norcini / 

A brief summary – All classes of speculators, hedge funds, other large reportables, and the general public, were net sellers of gold this past reporting period.
The other side of the equation, the buying, was done by the commercial category (bullion banks, etc,) and the swap dealers. The swap dealers, in particular, are a very good group of traders since they trade not only for clients and for the purpose of hedging, but can also speculate for their own interests.
I should note here that both of the latter categories, remain net short overall but continue to consistently reduce that position as they cover existing shorts and institute fresh long positions.
The small specs, the general public, are now showing the smallest net long position on record from this report which dates back to the beginning of 2006. In going back even further to 1999, they still have the smallest net long position that they have held in over a decade. That is quite remarkable!
