What does the EUR/GBP COT positioning analysis show?
EUR/GBP cross-rate futures (RP) on CME price the euro in British pounds, EUR 125,000 per contract. The cross shows how the two main European currencies move against each other without the US dollar, so it reacts to European Central Bank and Bank of England decisions. The CFTC covers it in the Traders in Financial Futures report: Leveraged Funds (hedge funds, CTAs), Asset Managers (institutions), Dealers (banks) and smaller non-reportable traders. In EUR/GBP, the net position of leveraged funds has ranged from -54% to +19% of open interest since June 2014.
When is the EUR/GBP Commitments of Traders report released?
Every Friday at 3:30 PM Eastern Time, for positions held on the previous Tuesday. When a US federal holiday falls on the Wednesday, Thursday or Friday of that week, the release moves to the next business day, usually the following Monday — a Monday holiday such as Labor Day does not delay it. This analysis updates after each release.
Who are the leveraged funds in EUR/GBP?
Leveraged Funds in the CFTC's words: hedge funds and money managers such as commodity trading advisors and pool operators. This analysis calls them the speculators.
What are the price candles above the chart?
Bars built from the Tuesday closes on the dates of the COT reports: each bar runs from the previous Tuesday close to its own, filled when it closed higher and hollow when it closed lower (4-week bars on the 5-year and 10-year views). They share the time axis with the positions below.
How is the 3-year range calculated?
Each week, a group's net position as % of open interest is compared with its own last 156 weekly readings: 0 is the lowest of those weeks and 100 the highest. A group becomes high at 80 and extremely high at 90, low at 20 and extremely low at 10. It keeps that band until its rank falls back below 75 (high) or 85 (extremely high), or rises above 25 and 15 on the low side, so a market does not change band on a small weekly move.
