I notice for the last few months you guys no longer post the
COT's for gold. I read on another site the latest COT's released
Friday did not bode well for gold as commercials massively
increased their short positions. When you were posting the COT's on
the weekly gold charts it made it very easy to notice trends. Is
there some reason you no longer post the numbers?
Hi
victorh - I still follow it and glance at it every
Friday, I just haven't been posting it because there's no extreme
numbers there telling me any useful information. Therefore I
haven't bothered to post it when lately it hasn't been telling me
anything. We already have so many charts in our newsletters that
when that COT data is not telling me anything, I don't add to
newsletters as that's one less chart,
what's been happening is that the trend has been stuck around
120 - 160K for weeks and weeks. I really only care about it
when it's at historical extremes well in the 200's or well below
100K.
Now is it possible that it's going to establish a new range? yes
that's something I monitor for as well but I don' have enough
data
Since the reports began flowing again in late February,
Commercials have been short on average around 100-140K. There
was a jump last week with COT net short increasing from 96K to
137K. I will include in future newsletters.
I notice for the last
