How to interpret NY Harbor ULSD positioning
What the contract represents
NY Harbor ULSD futures represent 42,000 gallons of distillate; the stable CFTC code spans the former Heating Oil naming convention.
Categories traders monitor
Managed Money and Producer/Merchant positions provide separate views of financial participation and refinery or distribution risk management.
Interpretation considerations
Heating demand, diesel consumption, refinery yields and exports can all affect the distillate balance.
Important limitations
The continuity note preserves an official rename, not an aggregation of different contract codes, and options are excluded.
