CFTC Commitments of Traders · positions as of Tuesday 2026-10-20, released Oct 23, 2026 (the CFTC reports each Tuesday's close three days later) · next release Oct 30, 2026 (regular cycle; see the release schedule for holiday shifts)
Coffee C positioning is mixed - commercials selling (26w index 43), speculators crowded short (3y index 20).
How this read is built
- Commercials (hedgers) are net short and sit in the middle of their 26-week range (COT index 43) - a bearish tilt in the traditional read.
- Large speculators are net long near the bottom of their 3-year range (index 20) - a crowded short, which historically leans bullish for the setup.
