Understanding the futures positions report

Where it stands today

Leveraged funds were net short 2,139,785 contracts in 10-year note futures in the week of 6 October 2026.

Who are the groups in the report?

The CFTC's Traders in Financial Futures report, one of its Commitments of Traders reports, gives the positions held in each financial futures market on a Tuesday, sorted by kind of trader: dealers and intermediaries, asset managers and institutional investors, leveraged funds, other reportable traders and traders below the reporting level. A position is a number of contracts, long or short; dealers, asset managers, leveraged funds and other reportables also report spread positions, which hold both.

The CFTC assigns each reporting trader to a group from the business the trader reports. This page uses the report's futures-only figures, which leave out options. The report gives the contract size of 10-year note futures as (CONTRACTS OF $100,000 FACE VALUE).

What 500metrics adds: net positions (long less short, which leave out spread positions), the change in open interest from the week before, and the last week a group's net position was larger on the same side.

What this number cannot tell you

  • Positions are those of the Tuesday the report is dated; the CFTC released the report on 9 October 2026.
  • A trader's group comes from the CFTC's own classification. Nonreportable positions are open interest less the reportable positions.
  • Net positions leave out spread positions, so a group's long and short do not account for all of its contracts.
  • Our collector holds the report from 13 June 2006 for this market; the CFTC can revise a week in a later report, and our collector keeps the earlier figure.
