Two signals take effect on the coming week's open of trading based on the latest Commitments of Traders report: copper goes to cash after two weeks bearish, and the 30-year Treasury bond goes bearish (meaning yields would go up, if the signal is correct).
All other signals remain the same: bullish for SPX and silver, bearish for NDX and natural gas, and cash for the other markets I follow.
See the detailed trader positioning from the CFTC's COT data on my newly updated latest signals table. Good luck this week!
Ever wonder what the smart money is doing in the markets? You don’t need to pay big bucks to find out. Just read the Commodity Futures Trading Commission’s free weekly Commitments of Traders report. The CFTC’s COT data is a Holy Grail of market info, listing trillions of dollars in positions in 200+ markets – gold, crude oil, natural gas, silver, forex, equity indexes and lots more. My trading system, which I posted about here for seven years, gave weekly trading signals based on the COT data.

Nasdaq-100 Goes to Cash, Copper Bearish After Four Months in Cash
Two signals take effect on Monday's open of trading based on Friday's Commitments of Traders report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
My Nasdaq-100 signal goes from bearish last week to cash this week, and my setup for copper goes bearish after four months in cash. The latter signal comes about because of an increase in bearishness of the commercial traders in copper futures and options.
See my latest signals table for more details on trader positioning in these two markets. Also see which two other markets are about to see new signals in the next two weeks.
Hope you had a good weekend, and good luck this week.

COT Data Turns Bullish for Crude Oil
A new signal takes effect on the coming week's open of trading based on Friday's Commitments of Traders report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission: bullish for crude oil.
That's based on the small traders getting significantly more bullish in their futures and options positioning as a percentage of the total open interest. My crude oil signal is based on following the small traders and fading the large speculators.
See my latest signals table for more details on the crude positioning and what traders are doing in the other nine markets I'm following using the CFTC's free weekly COT report data.
My other signals remain the same as last week: bullish for the S&P 500, BKX U.S. Bank Index, gold and silver.
To Canadian readers, have a Happy Canada Day weekend, and U.S. readers have a Happy July 4. Good luck next week.
