Commitment of Traders Report from 19 to 26 July
The CME report from Tuesday the 26th of July to Tuesday the 19th of July came out
The reportable figures from the Dealers/Intermediaers (Exchanges/Brokers) and
the Asset Managers/Insitutionals show negligible increases in Longs/Shorts
BUT
The SPREAD increase is nearly a 90% increase for said Exchanges/Brokers
as well as a 62% increase in spreads for Asset Managers/Institutionals
A simple way of understanding Spreads:
A higher (wider) spread means there is a bigger difference between bid-ask (buy-sell) prices
whereas a lower (more narrow) spread means there is a smaller difference between bid-ask (buy-sell) prices
tighter spreads are a sign of greater liquidity,
while wider bid-ask (buy-sell) spreads occur in less liquid or highly-volatile stocks
Because of this -
The current upwards move seems to be less volatile than the previous down move
Theory -
Exchanges and Institutions bet heavily on the current low volatility upside move
