Silver
Neutralmetals · Last COT: 2026-10-13
This page combines weekly CFTC Commitments of Traders positioning for Silver futures with seasonality, price context, and macro indicators. Percentiles show where the latest net position sits relative to its recent history; extremes can reveal crowded or washed-out positioning, but they are context rather than a standalone trade signal.
At a glance
A reading of the inputs, not a trade recommendation.
Net positioning
Managed Money net positioning is low versus the last two years (3th percentile).
Crowd risk
Gross long exposure is not at the dashboard's concentration threshold.
Price context
Price sits 17% through its 52-week range, without a flagged price-positioning divergence.
Seasonality and macro
Neutral seasonal bias for week 43. Macro is mixed.
Compare these inputs together. A low net-position percentile can coexist with high gross-long concentration, and price or macro can point in a different direction.

Macro Context
A falling dollar makes gold and silver cheaper for foreign buyers, supporting prices. A rising dollar is a headwind for precious metals.
Rising yields increase the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding metals like gold. Falling yields are bullish for precious metals.
Higher short-term rates signal tighter Fed policy, which historically pressures gold. Lower rates ease monetary conditions and support metals.
Elevated volatility drives safe-haven demand into gold and silver. Low VIX reflects complacency and reduces the urgency to hold precious metals.
