The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission is working to increase the frequency of publication of market-focused traders' position reports to twice a week by the end of this year. The report, which is currently published every Friday, details trading in the commodities market and distinguishes between hedge funds and other asset managers and commercial transaction participants. Producers rely on this report to help make hedging decisions, while speculative traders use data to observe changes in market positions and whether related bets are too concentrated. CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said at the agricultural commodity futures conference in Kansas last week that plans to publish reports more frequently stem from the needs of the agricultural community.
