COT includes disaggregated data on all U.S. physical commodity markets

The CFTC has included disaggregated data on all U.S. physical commodity markets in its weekly Commitments of Traders reports. It is now disaggregating data on all physical commodity markets where there are 20 or more reportable traders. While previous COT reports had broken traders into commercial and noncommercial categories, the CFTC now disaggregates the data into Producer/Merchant/Processor/User, Swap Dealers, Managed Money, and Other Reportables.
The CFTC will soon make available three years of historical data for the remaining markets.
