How to interpret Silver positioning
What the contract represents
COMEX Silver futures cover 5,000 troy ounces of a metal with both investment and industrial demand.
Categories traders monitor
Managed Money changes are often compared with Producer/Merchant activity because the groups can respond to different financial and physical-market pressures.
Interpretation considerations
Silver can trade with gold or industrial metals at different times, so a positioning percentile is market-specific context rather than a cross-metal signal.
Important limitations
Physical inventories, OTC exposure and options are outside this Futures Only series.
