Please fill out our survey on increasing the frequency of publication of
the Commitments of Traders Reports.  Click here to fill out the survey. 

Effective May 16, two changes will be made to the manner in which
Commitments of Traders reports are compiled.  First, higher reporting
levels are going into effect on that date for a number of commodities. 
These new levels can be found at www.cftc.gov/dea/dea.html.  This change
in reporting levels will reduce the number of reporting traders and,
therefore, the proportion of open interest in the commercial and
non-commercial categories.  Second, the minimum number of reportable
traders required to publish a report is being increased from 5 to 20. 
This will reduce the total number of commodities for which reports are
published.  The discontinued reports will be for markets with small
levels of open interest.
