Percentiles and extremes are computed over the full held span printed in the Held span column, per the 2026-10-28 redesign. The 1Y and 3Y windows and the 52-week z-score print alongside for continuity. Windows are weekly reports for the CFTC, ICE, ESMA and LME rows; the LME windows count held reports only, because that series is sampled.
