Disaggregated Commitments of Traders · Updated Every Friday 3:30 PM ET

Browse the latest Disaggregated COT report published by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), shown as Futures & Options Combined by default; COT Premium members can switch to Futures Only. The Disaggregated format breaks down reportable traders in physical commodity futures into four detailed categories — Producer/Merchant (physical hedgers), Swap Dealers, Managed Money (hedge funds and CTAs), and Other Reportables — giving traders a much sharper view of who is positioned in grains, metals, energies, softs and livestock markets.

The latest CFTC Commitments of Traders (COT) report (Disaggregated) was released on Friday, 6 November 2026, reflecting futures positions as of the close of trading on Tuesday, 3 November 2026.

About the Latest Disaggregated Report

The Disaggregated COT Report (Futures and Options Combined) breaks reportable traders in physical commodity futures into four categories — Producer/Merchant (physical hedgers), Swap Dealers, Managed Money (hedge funds and CTAs), and Other Reportables — released every Friday at 3:30 PM Eastern Time by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission for grains, metals, energies, softs and livestock.

  • Source: U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC)
  • Price data: Yahoo Finance
  • Release schedule: Every Friday, 3:30 PM ET (delayed on US federal holidays)
  • Markets covered: All physical commodity futures (agriculture, metals, energies, softs)
  • Trader categories: Producer/Merchant, Swap Dealers, Managed Money, Other Reportables, Non-Reportable
The Disaggregated COT report, published by the CFTC every Friday, breaks reportable traders into four categories: Producer/Merchant (physical hedgers), Swap Dealers (market-makers), Managed Money (hedge funds), and Other Reportables. Available for every physical commodity futures market. This page shows it as Futures & Options Combined by default; COT Premium members can switch to Futures Only.

What is the Disaggregated COT Report?

The Disaggregated Futures and Options Combined COT Report is a weekly CFTC publication that breaks reportable traders in physical commodity markets into four categories: Producer/Merchant (commercial hedgers), Swap Dealers (institutional market-makers), Managed Money (hedge funds and CTAs), and Other Reportables (institutional positions not classified elsewhere). It complements the Legacy Futures Only report by providing more granular positioning data for commodities.

When is the Disaggregated COT report released?

The CFTC releases the Disaggregated COT report every Friday at 3:30 PM Eastern Time, reflecting positions as of the previous Tuesday's close. 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.

What is Managed Money in the COT report?

Managed Money refers to commodity pool operators, commodity trading advisors (CTAs), and other registered professional money managers. This category includes hedge funds and is widely watched as a proxy for speculative positioning — a rising Managed Money net long means fund managers, as a group, are adding long exposure.

How are Swap Dealers different from Managed Money?

Swap Dealers are entities that deal primarily in swaps for commodities and use futures markets to manage the risk from those swap transactions. They are typically large banks and specialised commodity firms. Managed Money, by contrast, takes directional positions to generate returns for their clients. Swap Dealers are often the counterparty to Managed Money trades.

Which markets are covered in the Disaggregated report?

The Disaggregated COT report covers all physical commodity futures markets including grains (corn, wheat, soybeans), metals (gold, silver, copper, platinum), energies (crude oil, natural gas, heating oil, gasoline), and softs (coffee, sugar, cotton, cocoa). Financial futures (currencies, rates, indices) use the Traders in Financial Futures (TFF) format instead.
