30-Day Fed Funds COT Report — Net Positioning

Latest positioning

-83,889 contracts net short — large speculators

Week ending 8 September 2026 · added 219,895 on the week · open interest 2,136,373 (-721,113)

Long 290,248 Short 374,137
43.7% long / 56.3% short

Net speculative position — last 52 weeks

Sep 2025 Dashed line = flat (neither net long nor net short) Sep 2026

The current reading sits in the 59th percentile of its 3-year range — over the past 3 years, the net position has been lower than it is now 59% of the time. A high reading means the position is crowded by its own historical standards; it is context, not a forecast.

All three cohorts

Net positions by trader category, week ending 8 September 2026
CategoryNet positionWeek change
Large speculatorsFunds and managed money-83,889+219,895
CommercialsProducers, users and banks hedging physical exposure+70,872-162,390
Small tradersBelow the CFTC reporting threshold+13,017

The three cohorts net to zero between them — every long has a short on the other side. Commercials being heavily short is normal for a produced commodity and is not a bearish view; it is a hedge against inventory they already own.
