The latest Commitments of Traders report was released, covering positions through Tuesday

The 3-Year Min/Max Screen shows that "smart money" commercial hedgers didn't make any major moves ahead of this week's extreme volatility. They added to their massive net short position in major equity index futures, once again holding more than $100 million in short exposure. They sold gold, moving to one of the largest short positions of the past year, but well off past extremes. At the same time, they bought 10-year Treasuries, moving back to one of their largest net long positions ever.
