Subject:Silver COTs & Barclays
By: Charleston Voice
Overview: The weekly COTs are a summation of the "long" and "short" positions held by traders (chart below). Each contract represents a 5,000 oz. paper contract to buy or sell silver. The "longs" on this chart are in blue and light yellow while the "commercials" are the maroon bars. Both are scaled left. The trending green line is the number of "open interest" contracts - scale right. As you can see the "commercials" have never gone long and this has persisted for many years.
