Managed money net long positions in Brent continued to increase from the low point in August according to the commitment of traders data released on Friday. Positions are increasing on market concern over tight supplies towards the end of the year and into 2023. WTI net longs also increase slightly while ICE Gasoil and Nymex diesel steadied after increasing since the start of the month.
