How to read these
This page is a weekly reference, not a market feed. The CFTC measures positions at the close of Tuesday and releases the report at 3:30 p.m. Eastern on the following Friday, so the newest figure here is at least three days old when it first appears and stays the newest figure for a week.
A trader classification describes the kind of firm the CFTC places in that bucket, based on its main business. It does not establish why any position is held, and this page does not attach a reason to one.
These figures come from the futures-only report. The CFTC also publishes a futures and options combined report for the same contracts; it is a different dataset with different numbers, and the two are not mixed here.
Net is long minus short in contracts on one contract market. It is an arithmetic difference between two counts the CFTC published, not a sentiment reading. The E-mini and the Micro E-mini have different index multipliers, so their contract counts are shown side by side and are never added together.

Nothing on this page is a quote, a recommendation, or a forecast. Every figure is a count of contracts the CFTC published, carrying the date it describes.
