How to read it
- A COT index above 90 or below 10 means leveraged funds (hedge funds and CTAs) are at a yearly extreme in Mexican Peso: the move can continue, but there is plenty of fuel for a sharp reversal if a surprise hits.
- Read the weekly change next to price: price up with the net position rising means buyers behind the move; price up with the net falling means short covering.
- Open interest growing with the net position points to new money coming in; a net change with flat open interest means positions changing hands.
Frequently asked questions
What does the net position in Mexican Peso mean?
It is the difference between the contracts leveraged funds (hedge funds and CTAs) hold long and short in Mexican Peso. Positive: as a group they bet on higher prices; negative: on lower prices.
How often is the Mexican Peso data updated?
Once a week. The CFTC publishes the report on Friday with Tuesday's positions; this page refreshes automatically a few hours later.
Can I trade Mexican Peso on the COT alone?
Not a good idea. The COT describes positioning with a few days' delay and extremes can last for weeks. Use it as context alongside your analysis, your risk management and the release calendar.
