ICE Brent Net Longs Fall to Lowest Since August

OIL

Managed money net long positions in ICE Brent fell to the lowest since mid August and near to the lowest since late 2020 according to the latest commitment of traders data released on Friday. Positions have pulled back with uncertainty over the impact of the oil price cap on Russian crude supplies and with Chinese oil demand looking weaker due to rising covid restrictions.

  • ICE Gasoil positions also fell on the week to the lowest since September. CFTC data was delayed due to the US holidays last week and will be released later today.
  • ICE Brent net longs increased by -71k to 138k.
  • ICE Gasoil fell by -8k to 46k.
