Energy Positioning Report – 24 March 2026
ICE Brent remains in overextended territory, ICE Gasoil, NYMEX WTI, and NYMEX RBOB all fell and are all outside overextend levels
This report aims to provide a position index for energy futures between -50 and 50, with 0 as the neutral position. The full methodology is at the back of the report. When the position index is at the extremes, above 40 or below -40, the market is overstretched relative to its average position in the previous 3-year rolling window. As such, it is ripe for mean reversion. Consequently, when the index is high, deleveraging will follow, having a negative impact on price, while when the index is low, we expect accumulation that will push the price higher.
