We’re excited to introduce a new addition to our intelligence offering: the Kpler Market Positioning report, launched on April 28, 2025, and now published weekly.
Each edition of Market Positioning delivers a detailed cross-commodity view of speculative futures positioning, integrating CFTC and ICE data, Kpler’s proprietary sentiment scoring, and technical indicators to help you stay ahead of investor flows and momentum signals.
What Is It?
The Market Positioning report provides actionable insights into speculative behavior across energy, metals, and agricultural markets. It’s built for traders, analysts, and strategists who want to track where risk appetite is building—or retreating.
Each week, we unpack:
Long/short positioning trends across futures markets
Momentum signals and crowding risk
Kpler Sentiment Scores ranked by commodity and sector
Visual dashboards showing net length, Z-scores, and open interest
Whether you're monitoring hedging flows in corn, crowding in silver, or Brent's bearish turn, Market Positioning offers a data-rich snapshot of how markets are recalibrating.
Why It Matters
Understanding positioning is key to anticipating:
Price swings triggered by sentiment shifts or macro shocks
Short-covering rallies or long liquidations
Where crowding may signal reversals
This is especially vital in today’s markets where fundamentals and speculative behavior increasingly diverge.
With intuitive charts (e.g., net length as % of open interest, 4-week Z-scores), you can see not only what’s changing, but where sentiment might shift next.
