Onyx CFTC Style COT Reports – 07 Apr 2025

Onyx’s in-house CTA positioning model determines the net positioning of CTAs in a range of futures benchmarks. CTAs initially increased their net len.

Onyx’s in-house CTA positioning model determines the net positioning of CTAs in a range of futures benchmarks. CTAs initially increased their net length, which surpassed 0, and reached highs of 20k lots on 03 April. However, with flat price collapsing, CTA positions sharply reversed, falling to -88k lots by 07 April. However, outright positioning is yet to surpass the lows reached in early March. As such, there is capacity for CTAs to provide further downside to price action. RBOB remains the most bullish out of the underlyings, while Brent has become the most bearish, at -27k lots. As a result, gasoil is no longer the most bearish underlying.

It was the Midland that attracted buying interest, as Totsa swept in to lift the offer for 22-26 June at Dated +$1.25, while PetroIneos picked up Vitol’s offer at $1.95 over Dated for 3-7 July – that’s a steep curve!
